    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 weren't executing the right way," the Rockets forward said. "They came back, and that's what happens when you don't 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.
