LOS ANGELES: The New Orleans Pelicans, energized by a return to their home court, dominated the reigning champion Golden State Warriors in a 119-100 NBA playoff win on Friday (Saturday in Manila) as Houston reasserted themselves against the Utah Jazz. The Pelicans will have a chance to even things up when they host game four on Sunday. Jrue Holiday helped set the tone, scoring 11 of his 21 points in the first quarter. James Harden scored 25 points with 12 assists for Houston. Their 39 points in the first quarter had the Jazz reeling—which was just what the Rockets had in mind.
