First day of preseason and everything is happening, even Dwight Howard getting ejected in his first game as a Houston Rocket!
But on a good note he did have a good game (well… A good three quarters) 19 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block and 7-11 free throw shooting! James Harden had 21 points, 3 assists and a big game from a certain player that you won’t expect to… Omri Casspi! 20 points in nearly 8 minutes, scoring outburst indeed.
But the newly named Pelicans got the win with a great team effort. 5 players with double digit points (Rivers, Davis, Morrow, Holiday, Smith) and speaking of Mr Morrow, he had a beast game, 26 points, 5 rebounds and 7-7 free throw shooting.
If you have the chance to watch a replay of this game, I strongly suggest you watch it.
Next up for Houston is Indiana on Thursday and the Pelicans face the Mavericks on Monday.
