Midway through 3rd quarter, Pelicans trail Rockets 75-63. They’re just not playing with any force defensively. Eric Gordon getting anything he wants and Houston’s having an easy time getting good looks from 3-point range, which they’re converting — 12 makes in 24 attempts. Yuck. – 8:37 PM

#Texans have turned it over on both offensive possessions, but the Colts miss a 34-yd FG after the 2nd turnover, so the deficit for Houston remains 7-0. – 1:26 PM
