New Orleans players were only 15 seconds on the game clock Friday from heading into the home locker room to celebrate and enjoy one of the Pelicans’ premier wins of the season, a 115-113 victory vs. Houston that punctuated the team’s best stretch of 2017-18. Then, as he tried to offensive rebound his missed free throw and save the ball back in bounds, four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins landed awkwardly along the baseline, collapsing to the floor near the Houston bench. He was immediately taken to the locker room, needing the support of two teammates, having sustained a left Achilles injury.
