Lonzo Ball highlighted a season-high 27-point performance with a career-high seven 3-pointers, and the PelicansNBA beat the undermanned HoustonRockets 127-112.
E’Twaun Moore hit five 3s and scored a season-high 25 points for New Orleans, which trailed by nine early in the fourth quarter before suddenly seizing complete control against a Houston squad without its three most productive players: James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Clint Capela.
Daniel House Jr. scored 22 and Eric Gordon, returning for the first time since having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in mid-November, added 20 points. Isaiah Hartenstein, making his first-career start, had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who shot 51.9% , made 15 3s and spent much of the opening three quarters in the lead.
Harden, who’d been listed as questionable with a sprained toe after scoring 44 in a victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, was scratched from the lineup for the first time this season. Gordon also opened the second quarter with his third 3 and Houston widened its lead to 45-36 on Ben McLemore’s finger roll.
