Plucky Pelicans shock Rockets, Bucks bounce back in Detroithome/Sports/Top Sports/Plucky Pelicans shock Rockets, Bucks bounce back in DetroitLOS ANGELES: The New Orleans Pelicans shrugged off multiple injuries and uncertainty surrounding star Anthony Davis on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), rallying for a 121-116 NBA victory over the Houston Rockets. Harden notched his 24th straight game of at least 30 points, but his 17 in the fourth quarter weren’t enough to turn the tide. “That’s going to play out the way it plays out,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said before the game. George scored 31 of his 37 points in the first half and Schroder scored 18 of his 21 in the fourth quarter as Oklahoma City handed the Magic a fourth straight defeat. George recorded his eighth straight game with 24 points or more.
