Two rebounds shy of double-double Porter ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and eight assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over Utah.

Impact After leading the Rockets to a dramatic win over the Kings Monday night, Porter ceded the limelight to Garrison Mathews in the win but still put up a solid stat line. Porter depends on a big night of assists to post superior numbers, and his eight dimes rivaled his best totals of the season. He also only coughed up the ball once, a problem that has plagued Porter and the team in general.
