Video Highlights: Big fourth quarter pushes Rockets past Pelicans

Dwight Howard and crew finally got going in the fourth quarter, and the Rockets snuck past the Pelicans on Saturday night.

For the second game in a row, the Rockets played an ugly contest but emerged unscathed with a victory on hand. On a night where the Rockets could not hit a thing from distance, the odds seemed against them as the Pelicans made a third quarter charge, and all of Dwight Howard's brilliance seemed like it might be all for naught. But with a charge in the fourth, the Rockets pushed back ahead and took down the Pelicans, 107-98.

Dwight Howard continued his amazing run of form, scoring 24 points and securing 18 rebounds, and Terrence Jones had 18 and 8 of his own (with no turnovers), and the rest of the Rockets contributed just enough to get the win over the Pelicans.
