The Houston Rockets ( 30 - 31 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 23 - 36 ) 100 - 95 on Wednesday . Most would have anticipated a much higher - scoring game , but the shooting was dreadful between both teams . Houston actually had one of the worst shooting nights of the season in the NBA , as they went 3 - for - 34 from three - point range in the win . Both teams also shot under 70 percent from the free - throw line as well . The key for the Rockets was a 13 - 2 run to end the game that was led by James Harden . Another key was the rebounding , as they snatched down 51 rebounds to the Pelicans 43 boards . New Orleans got back Anthony Davis after a two - game absence , but it did n't help much . Davis finished the game with just 12 points and eight rebounds , while going just 5 - for - 13 from the field . Norris Cole led the team with 21 points and also added four rebounds and eight assists in a great performance . Six players scored in double - digits for the Pelicans , but the other four players combined for just four points . On deck for New Orleans is a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday . James Harden was n't going to let his team lose tonight and he put it all on the line . Harden accumulated 39 points , 12 rebounds , seven assists and four steals in an MVP-type performance . Patrick Beverley also played with a chip on his shoulder , as he tallied 15 points and nine rebounds in the victory . The only other player in double figures was Dwight Howard , as he totaled 16 points , nine rebounds , two steals and three blocks in the win . Houston wo n't play again until Saturday , when they take on the reeling Chicago Bulls .
