The Houston Rockets ( 25 - 22 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 16 - 28 ) 112 - 111 on Monday . In a testament to the collective improvement the Pelicans have shown since a 1 - 11 start , the team nearly pulled out a victory despite only getting 19 minutes out of All-Star Anthony Davis due to a concussion . With their main source of offense down , two of the most valuable bench players in the league stepped up to keep New Orleans within striking distance until the scoreboard showed triple zeros . Jrue Holiday equaled the combined scoring total of the starting five with a 32 - point tally , while Ryan Anderson contributed 22 points over the extra playing time he received in Davis ' stead . Despite the impressive performances , it was ironically a missed 33 - foot three - point jumper from Holiday as time expired that sealed the Pelicans ' fate on a night when their valiant effort fell just short . Houston shot 48 percent from the field , as well as 49 percent from beyond the arc . James Harden was an intergral contributor to both figures , tallying a near triple - double with 35 points , 11 rebounds , eight assists , a steal and a block . His scoring haul included three three - pointers . Trevor Ariza played an impressive all - around game , managing 31 points , five rebounds , three assists , a team - high three steals and a block . He also defended Davis well while the latter was on the floor . Patrick Beverley stuffed the stat sheet , registering 11 points , seven rebounds , three assists and a pair of steals . Clint Capela filled in for Dwight Howard for a third consecutive game , collecting 10 points and five rebounds . Marcus Thornton paced the Rockets ' reserves with 12 points , a pair of assists and a rebound . With the victory , Houston remains in fourth place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs in a Wednesday tilt . Holiday added nine assists , six rebounds and three steals to his team - high scoring total . Anderson hauled in nine rebounds and recorded one block to supplement his 22 points . Veteran Toney Douglas was the third Pelicans reserve to post double - digit scoring , and the third - highest scorer on the team as well , managing 18 points . He also added six assists , three rebounds , a steal and a block . Norris Cole spearheaded the starting five with 10 points , four rebounds and four assists , the only member of the first unit to reach double - digit points . Backcourt mate Tyreke Evans notably contributed only five points , two rebounds and two assists over a scant 16 minutes on the court , as Holiday 's success garnered him an abundant 36 minutes of floor time and kept Evans a spectator for extended stretches . With the loss , New Orleans remains in last place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They 're at home again on Thursday to face off against the Sacramento Kings .
