HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets seemed to be rolling in the first half against New Orleans, shooting well and building a double-digit lead. Luis Scola knew better. "We werent executing the right way," the Rockets forward said. "They came back, and thats what happens when you dont play good." Houston survived one of the worst fourth quarters in team history to hold off the Hornets 90-88 in overtime on Thursday night. Kevin Martin scored 27 of his 32 points in the first half, Samuel Dalembert grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds and the Rockets won their fifth straight game. Barely. "It just looked like the life was out of us," Martin said. "But we found a way to pull out that one." Courtney Lee scored a season-high 17 points and Kyle Lowry added 10 points and eight assists for the Rockets, who shot 3 for 21 from the field in the fourth quarter and mustered 7 points, matching a team record set three times previously. Martin hit 10-of-14 shots in the first half, then went 2 for 6 in the fourth as the Hornets rallied to tie it. "I always tell them, Give the fight and do your best," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. "We did everything we could to win the game." Jason Smith scored 17 points and Jarrett Jack and Marco Belinelli added 15 points apiece for the Hornets, whove lost 12 of 13. But the players on New Orleans bench went nuts when Jack swished a baseline jumper with 3:47 left in overtime to give the Hornets their first lead, and Smith hit one from nearly the same spot to put the Hornets up 86-83. Jack scored again before Dalembert converted a three-point play. Scola sank two free throws to tie it with 1:10 remaining. Martin picked up a loose ball with under 30 seconds left and missed a layup on a fast break, but Dalembert grabbed the rebound and dunked with 11 seconds left. "We put ourselves in that situation," Dalembert said. "We dug ourselves so deep that we had to dig ourselves out. And we did it." Belinelli missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and Houston escaped to beat the Hornets for only the second time in the last eight meetings. "Im only taking positives from this game," Smith said. "We played hard and thats what we have to do every game to give ourselves a chance to win." Houston shredded the Hornets defence in the first half, going 8 for 14 from 3-point range and matching its first-half season high point total set in Mondays 114-106 win in Washington. With the Hornets focused on Martin in the third quarter, Dalembert scored six points inside to keep Houston in front. But like Scola, Houston coach Kevin McHale sensed that the Rockets were losing their offensive rhythm. "We had no flow in that second half after having had a lot of flow early," McHale said. "On average, you can feel it coming on and its a bad feeling." The Rockets bench was unable to stretch the lead early in the fourth, and Lowry says the New Orleans defence deserves credit for turning the tide. "They junked it up a little bit on us," Lowry said. "Just being physical, just being everywhere, just showing hard on the defensive end and making sure we didnt get easy shots." Martin returned and converted a three-point play with 7:02 left for a 78-69 Houston lead. The Hornets defence fueled a 9-0 run capped by Smiths turnaround jumper to cut the deficit to 80-79 with just over two minutes remaining. Smith had a chance to win it in regulation, but his turnaround at the buzzer rimmed out. NOTES: The Rockets have held double-digit leads in eight straight games, one shy of matching their longest streak since 2008-09. ...

Despite reports out of Mexico on Wednesday that the transfer with Queretaro F.C. had been completed, Robinson says there are still details that need to be ironed out. "Were still working on it to find a solution at this moment," Robinson said on a conference call from Philadelphia ahead of Thursdays Major League Soccer SuperDraft. Sanvezzo has been practising with Queretaro for the last two weeks and was even pictured wearing the clubs kit, despite the fact that he had the option on his MLS contract picked by the Whitecaps for the 2014 season in November. Robinson, who was named Whitecaps head coach last month, said he travelled to Mexico to meet face to face with Sanvezzo to try to resolve the crisis. "He put a few views across to me and I made my points clear to him about where I stood as the head coach of this organization, as well as where the club stood," said Robinson. "There were a few words that maybe were higher decibels than others, but I think it was important that conversation happened." The 25-year-old Sanvezzo was last seasons MLS Golden Boot winner after scoring 22 goals but there was a clear disconnect between the Whitecaps and the player, resulting in what haas become a messy divorce.dddddddddddd "I was very surprised to see my player with a Queretaro kit on," said Robinson. "I dont think theres any manager in the world that wouldnt be surprised and disappointed." Sanvezzo joined Vancouver in 2011, scoring 39 goals in 92 league games, including 75 starts. The Whitecaps scored 53 times in 2013, with Sanvezzo setting up or scoring 28 of those goals. He made US$247,500 last season, third highest on the team, but a number that was not even a quarter of fellow striker Kenny Millers salary of nearly $1.25 million. Robinson reiterated a point made by Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi last week that Sanvezzos agent has been feeding his client misinformation. He would not say what reasons Sanvezzo gave for wanting to force his way out of Vancouver. The impending loss of the teams top scorer is a major blow to Robinson, who replaced the fired Martin Rennie last month. It creates an obvious hole up front on a team that missed the playoffs last season, but the spectacular departure is also a nightmare from a public relations perspective. "Were at a stage now where we need to try and do what is right for myself and my team moving forward into next year," Robinson said. The Whitecaps will get two-thirds of whatever transfer fee Sanvezzo fetches, while the MLS pockets the rest. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
