HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets had trouble hitting shots and finding a rhythm through the first three quarters against New Orleans on Saturday night, doing
just enough to hang with the Pelicans.

Jeremy Lin for a second straight game -- were able to finish things off.
Dwight Howard had 24 points and 18 rebounds, and Harden scored 11 of his 21
points in the fourth quarter in the Rockets 107-98 comeback victory. "It was
winning time," Harden said. "I was struggling the first three quarters and
couldnt find the rhythm when my teammates needed me the most. We got the ball
moving and Jeremy made a couple of good threes. Chandler (Parsons) had a good
put back and then Dwight got an and-one. Everybody picked up the intensity a
little bit." It was the second straight game Houston rallied in the fourth for a
win and marked the first time since December 2009 that the Rockets have won
three straight games within the division. Houston beat San Antonio on Christmas
and topped Memphis on Thursday night. "We didnt shoot it well," Houston coach
Kevin McHale said. "I know at one time I looked up, I thought we were two for 19
from the three-point line. It felt like they made every three. They were 10 for
22. ... We found a way to win, but it was another in a long line of games that
feel like you are pulling teeth." Howard was 10 of 12 from the floor, helping to
keep Houston in the game through the first three quarters with 20 points in that
span. "I just tried to play out of the double team," Howard said. "When they
doubled, I tried to make the good play, and when they didnt double, I tried to
make the better play for myself." Parsons added 19 points and seven rebounds,
and Terrence Jones had 17 points and eight rebounds to help Houston win its
third straight game and snap New Orleans winning streak at two. Lin had all 10
of his points in the fourth quarter after scoring 14 of his 18 points in the
fourth against Memphis. The Rockets made three of five 3-point attempts in the
fourth quarter after going 3 of 21 from long range in the first three quarters.
"Its definitely not the ideal plan or ideal strategy," Lin said. "Im thankful
Coach McHale let me keep going. I was able to finally get a little bit of a
rhythm in the last two games. I have to do a much, much better job and be more
aggressive in the first three quarters." Houston was 25 of 32 from the
free-throw line, while New Orleans was 6 of 8. "Anything I say is going to get
me in trouble," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said about the free-throw
difference. "OK, so lets just leave it at that. Thirty-two to eight."
Ryan Anderson had 22 points and 12 rebounds for New Orleans. Anthony Davis added
18 points and 16 rebounds, and Tyreke Evans had 16 points and nine assists. "I
think we really didnt execute down the stretch," Evans said. "It was a tough
loss. I think we played hard and fought, but in the fourth quarter, our
execution wasnt that good. They hit some big shots. ... They were shooting it
from far out, and it kind of tough, but they made their shots, and we cant do
anything about that." After New Orleans opened a 92-88 lead with 4:54 left on
Davis alley-oop dunk, Jones started Houston on a game-ending 19-6 run with a
three-point play. Following Davis jumper, Lin tied it at 94 with a 3-pointer
with 3 1/2 minutes remaining. Then, Harden put the Rockets ahead for good with a
3-pointer to give with 3:14 remaining. "We were in it the whole game, and we
were giving ourselves a chance to win the game," Davis said. "We tried to send a
couple of guys at Dwight and give him different looks. He found Jeremy Lin in
the corner for a three and then James came down and hit a three. They just made
big shots, and we didnt execute at the end. We have to come out and know what
were running and execute." NOTES: New Orleans guard Eric Gordon sat out his
second straight game because of a right hip contusion. ... Houston forward
Greg Smith missed his fourth straight game with a sprained right knee.
