In Thursday's matchup with the Houston Rockets, the New Orleans Pelicans showed a ton of heart and a never-say-die attitude in the Pels' 133-128 comeback win. After trailing just nine after one quarter, the Pelicans were sucker punched by the Rockets in the second quarter, being outscored 34-21 and trailing by 22 at the half.
However, this disastrous second quarter didn't stop the Pelicans from battling, as they cut Houston's 25-point lead to 16 by the start of the fourth quarter. New Orleans would then go on a 17-5 run led by a heroic effort from Herb Jones, who finished the game with a career high eight steals.
