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 .
