Sam Dekker made his first career start a memorable one.

Dekker, subbing for the ill Ryan Anderson, scored a career-high 30 points, James Harden added 29 points and 10 assists and the Houston Rockets leaned on their usual 3-point offense to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 119-95 on Saturday night.

Dekker, in his second year out of Wisconsin, said he didn't prepare for the game any differently knowing he would be on the court for the tip. And the opening showed there wasn't any nervousness.

Dekker connected on his first five shots before finishing the night 12 of 19, including 6 of 11 from outside the arc.
