Davis Scores 30, Leads New Orleans Over Houston

Davis had 30 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to lead the Pelicans to a 99-90 victory over the Rockets on Thursday night. "Right now it's all about maturity and growing up as a team and realizing this is a moment, this is where we have to start growing up and learning how to win games," the 21-year-old said. Ryan Anderson scored the last five points on that spurt to help New Orleans snap a six-game skid in Houston. Evans, who is the team's second-leading scorer with 17 points a game, sat out with a bruised right knee. James Harden scored 21 and Dwight Howard had 17 points with 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who lost for just the second time in nine games. Harden entered the game leading the NBA in scoring and had scored more than 40 points in two of his last three games. Holiday tied it up with a jump shot before Troy Daniels hit a 3-pointer to leave the Rockets up 68-65 entering the fourth quarter. Kostas Papanikolaou returned after missing five games with a strained right knee.
