HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets didnt seem too impressed with their latest entry
in the NBA record book.
Kelvin Benjamin Jersey .The Rockets made an
NBA-record 24 3-pointers, led by Eric Gordons 7-for-12 effort, and beat the New
Orleans Pelicans 122-100 Friday night.We just played how we play, said Harden,
who shot 6 for 12 on 3s and finished with 29 points. It didnt feel no different.
We shot the basketball, open 3s and you know -- they went in.Harden also had 11
rebounds and 13 assists for his sixth triple-double of the season and 15th of
his career -- passing Hakeem Olajuwon for the most in franchise history.The best
player in Rockets history -- The Dream, Harden said. For me, its an unbelievable
accomplishment. Credit to my teammates for knocking down their shots. Im just
trying to make an impact on the game thats all.Ryan Anderson made Houstons 24th
3-pointer of the game with 32 seconds remaining, and the Toyota Center crowd
erupted in celebration of the record.Gordon confidently predicted that the best
is yet to come.I wouldnt doubt before the seasons over that well break that
record again, Gordon said. I think itll happen again, for sure. A lot of teams
like to load up and not let us get layups and force us to shoot 3s so why not?In
picking up their ninth straight win, the Rockets attempting 61 3s -- making 39.3
percent -- to shatter their own record of 50 set earlier this year. They broke
the NBA record for 3s made in a game, shared by Houston in 2013 and Orlando in
2009.Theyve added another dimension to the game because of their ability to be
able to shoot the way they do, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said.Trevor Ariza
added 20 points and Patrick Beverley had 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight
assists for Houston.Anthony Davis scored 19 points in 22 minutes for New Orleans
and rested much of the second half after Houston built a lead as big as 24
points. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry later said Davis was kicked in his lower leg
and was limping so he held him from playing in the fourth quarter.Houston
attempted 31 3s in the first two quarters, an NBA record for a half. The Rockets
made 14 3s in the first half, entering the break with a 45.2-percent clip.
Houston entered the game attempting 37.6 3s per game, tops in the league, and
making 38.4 percent.Gentry said Houstons offense is fueled by Hardens abilities
as a playmaker.He controls the game, Gentry said. The game is played at his
pace. Hes leading the league in assists and he has a lot of shooters around him.
He can score and hes playing like an MVP candidate. If you look around the
league right now, hes as good as anybody playing.Pelicans point guard Tim
Frazier played through a right wrist sprain in his hometown, several miles from
his alma mater of Strake Jesuit.There was plenty of familiarity between the two
teams. Three Rockets players -- Gordon, Ariza and Anderson -- played previously
for New Orleans, while the Pelicans Terrence Jones and Omer Asik are former
Rockets. Additionally, Pelicans coach Gentry served as an assistant for Rockets
coach DAntoni in Phoenix.TIP-INSPelicans: After playing 11 minutes in his first
game of the season on Thursday night against Indiana, Tyreke Evans (knee) was
given the night off for rest. ... SF Solomon Hill did not travel with the team
to Houston as he stayed in New Orleans with his girlfriend in anticipation of
the couples first child.Rockets: C Clint Capela fouled out of the game early in
the fourth quarter. He had eight points and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes. ...
Harden made 6 of 12 3-pointers, while Ariza made 5 of 14. ... Three Rockets
players had double-digit rebounds and Houston outrebounded New Orleans
57-47.REMEMBERING SAGERBefore the National Anthem, the Rockets remembered TNT
broadcaster Craig Sager, who died Thursday at 65 after a lengthy battle with
leukemia. There was a moment of silence in Sagers honor and fans in the Toyota
Center gave a standing ovation when his picture was shown on the videoboard.
Sager attended several Rockets games while receiving treatment at nearby MD
Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.HONORING RUDY TAs part of their ongoing
celebration of their 50th season, the Rockets honored former player and coach
Rudy Tomjanovich with a video montage after the first quarter. Tomjanovich was
in attendance and received a lengthy ovation from the crowd. Tomjanovich played
for the Rockets from 1970-81, and coached the team from 1991-2003 -- winning
back-to-back championships in 1994 and 1995.UP NEXTPelicans: Att San Antonio on

lot of money, and it needs it fast.

Detroit.

. -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched
ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Coaches seem
to hate it but clearly NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg is a fan of the games
golden-point system.Greenberg laughed off claims from Canterbury coach Des
Hasler that the system was going to be overhauled at the end of the
season.Instead the leagues boss said golden point brought an extra level of
excitement to the game which added to the spectacle.Des Hasler doesnt make those
decisions. The NRL does, Greenberg said.Ill listen very closely to Des as Ill
listen very closely to all of the coaches. Were in the business of
entertainment.Golden point has provided a number of entertaining finishes to the
end of the season. Weve had more golden point games in 2016 than ever
before.Greenberg noted changes had already been made for this years finals
series where a period of extra-time wiill be played before golden point.
Cedric Thornton Jersey. One aspect of the
game which is set for review though is the judiciary system.Greenberg concedes
the system creates confusion for fans through inconsistent penalties and
gradings and it needs to be looked at.I think you will see some change going
into 2017 but Im not sure what (that change) will be, he said.I understand fans
get frustrated but its no new news to us that they get frustrated because there
are difficulties in the system with loading and carry over points. Its a complex
system.Where we can provide simplicity into that, we will, but be mindful that
were there to protect the players interests on the field.
