The Houston Rockets (8 - 11) won for the third time in four games Wednesday night as they held off the New Orleans Pelicans (4 - 15) to win 108 - 101 at the Toyota Center. The Pelicans took a one - point lead with 8:56 to go in the game, but the Rockets rattled off a 100 run over the next four minutes to build up an insurmountable lead. Rockets guard James Harden fueled the run with its first five points, and the Rockets never trailed in the game's final five minutes. Harden's 24 points paced the Rockets despite an off shooting night (7 - 20), as he used his skills to get to the foul line and chip in nine free throws in 10 attempts. Patrick Beverley supplied a double - double with 10 points, 10 redbounds, all while playing a stellar point guard and dishing six assists without a turnover. Terrence Jones added 15 points off the bench and was just one of three Rockets reserves to score in double - digits. For the Pelicans, it was superstar Anthony Davis leading the way, as he had his own double - double with 29 points (9 - 20 shooting) and 13 rebounds, and he made his presence felt on the defensive end with a pair of blocks and steals each. Ryan Anderson came off the bench to supply 19 points (3 - 9 three - point shooting) and 10 rebounds. Poor shooting killed the Pelicans, who managed just 41 percent from the floor and 28 percent from deep. Houston will look to make it a winning streak Friday at Dallas. New Orleans next gets the Cavaliers at home on Friday.
