The Rockets also failed to deal with Cousins' emotional issues in the second half.

In the third quarter, Cousins was whistled for a second technical foul and was fouled out for a defensive foul, and the game ended early.

Although Harden went on a scoring spree in the final quarter to help the team chase the score, it was too late.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Rockets 113-103 at home to win the Christmas game.

Tang Tian had a team-high 32 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Davis had 21 points and 10 boards, and Jokic contributed 16 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists.

Harden scored 41 points and 6 assists, and this season the Rockets formed the Big Three but lost to the Warriors and lost to the Rockets.

Paul also had a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists, while Cousins played just 13 minutes and contributed 15 points and six boards as a result of his ejection.

After the game, the Pelicans' home fans were reveling for the Christmas victory, and the Rockets' back was somewhat silent when they left.

The Rockets were in good shape with a seven-game winning streak and showed enough quality in the first quarter and a half of this game.

But if they want to really go further, they still have to deal with the previous relationship between the Big Three.

However, in the post-game press conference, Harden was still full of confidence in the team.

"It's only been two months into the season, we still have a lot of time to grind in and adjust a lot of things, and I'm looking forward to the next game, looking forward to meeting the Pelicans again in the playoffs and we'll prove our quality."

Harden is a bit extreme in his style of play, but his strength is there, and his morale has become high after getting rid of Kardashian's tight defense.

Ending the Rockets' 7-game winning streak, he also reaped a new wave of 4-game winning streak.

For the Pelicans, they could have a pretty happy Christmas.

After the Pelican War, other games on Christmas were also played.

In the second game of the Nets vs. the Heat, the Nets' Russell was in hot form, and the two-star combination of Wade and Whiteside on the Heat's side was also strong.

Both teams are Eastern Conference playoff level teams this season, and the game is quite intense.

In the end, Russell showed a big heart and beat the Heat with three points to win the game.

East Downs, West Russell, this year's rare champion list is not watery.

The game was intense, but the attention of the game was the lowest in the Christmas game.

The Thunder and Spurs, who followed suit, were once again in the spotlight.

When Tang Tian was still with the Spurs, the Spurs eliminated the Thunder in the playoffs.

Coupled with the fact that the two teams are now close to each other, this game is both a grudge and an important game for both teams.

Leonard only showed talent in this game, causing a lot of trouble for Durant on the defensive end, and also scored 20+ points on the offensive end.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Thunder 106-98 and won this crucial battle.

Poor Xiaoshuai, he was going to be stalked by Tang Tian when he fought with the Spurs before, but now that Tang Tian is gone, Leonard is playing again.

It's not ordinarily difficult for him to win against the Spurs in the Thunder.

This was followed by a game between the Mavericks and the Knicks.

The Mavericks Cuban has a good lineup in the summer, but Delon's strength is indeed not on the same level as others.

Embiid, Butler and Nowitzki scored 20+ and couldn't help the Mavericks win.

After the Knicks won the Mavericks, they continued to consolidate their second place in the East.

The Christmas game is over, but when the final game rolls around, the fandom has reached a new climax since the Pelican War.

The Battle of Cavalry began.

The Cavaliers were eliminated by the Warriors in the Finals last season without Love, and they must have been unwilling in their hearts.

What's more, they have experienced a big wave of reinforcements this past summer.

The competition was also quite intense.

The Cavaliers' defense is still a problem, but their offensive firepower is ferocious.

The two teams played until the fourth quarter.

At critical moments, James showed his power, single-handedly defending Curry on the defensive end, and beating Green on the offensive end, helping the Cavaliers win the game thrillingly.

At the end of the game, the whole Quickfinance Arena was in a state of flux, and it felt like they had won the championship.

But the victory does mean a lot to the Cavaliers and Cavaliers fans.

It's like someone who has been underwater, finally rushing out of the water.

And the victory in such a crucial battle has also significantly improved their self-confidence.

"If we meet them again in the finals, we are very confident that we will win this year."

Just like James said in front of the media after the game.

And after the end of the Cavalry War, the official of the alliance also sent a very interesting tweet.

"Small cities can do big things."

Small town, naturally refers to Cleveland, and there can be many understandings of big deeds, from the victory in the Christmas war to the championship.

This is a personal understanding, but one of the obvious signals from the league's move is that they are bullish on the Cavaliers.

Just like when the Cavaliers won the first pick in a row, there is a history that fans have turned over.

Cleveland is the inspirational protagonist in many movies and television dramas in the United States, because he has not won a championship in the four major leagues so far.

If James can finally bring the city its first big four league championships, it will be unprecedented not only for him, but also for the city, and even for the NBA in the United States.

If understood in this way, this move of the alliance is not so strange.

However, Tang Tian and the Pelicans team members didn't pay much attention to these things.

The day after they finished the game, they went to Tang Tian's party on the Mars Project.

This is the first time many of them have boarded a superyacht of this class, and it is nothing short of a small castle on the water.

Coupled with the top models and car models invited by Tang Tian, it is like paradise here.

Tang Tian also showed the demeanor of his conscience spokesman on the ship, and put a lot of durex that he endorsed in every room.

Such intimate details made the Pelicans team members have the ultimate impression of Tang Tian.

The team members were busy communicating, and Tang Tian sat on the bow of the boat watching the scenery.

There were a lot of models and car models on the ship, and they were all invited by him, so it was easy for him to do something.

But now that Olsen is at home with two babies, if he does something here, he really won't be a man.

Compared to that, he looked at the court in front of him, but he had a new idea for next year's hard training brother training camp.

The arena on his estate was almost finished, but the new arena smelled so bad it had to be dried.

If you don't have the time to do it, it's not a bad idea to put the bootcamp on the Mars program.

There is a whole separate basketball court on the yacht, and training on it is not only beautiful, but also windy and sometimes rocky.

This will be a great help to improve their shooting feel and body balance.
