NEW ORLEANS LA- JANUARY 26 De Marcus Cousins #0 of the New Orleans Pelicans lies down on the ground after injuring his ankle during the second half of a NBA game against the Houston Rockets at the Smoothie King Center
"We were just getting it", Pelicans All-Star power forward Anthony Davis said.
"We've got enough guys in here who are professionals who are always ready when their number's called, so we've got to make sure that we stay locked in". An MRI after the game revealed a full tear of the Achilles, reported Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports, which will end Cousins' season after 48 games.
He posted a triple-double in the contest with 15 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. But the Pelicans' potent big duo is particularly problematic for a Rockets squad built to play fast and fire away from the perimeter.
Chris Paul scored a season-high 38 points before fouling out in the final seconds and almost led Houston back from a 21-point, third-quarter deficit.
"We were starting to play damn good basketball", Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told ESPN in a text message. "We picked up our pace a little bit".
In the final quarter, it looked like the Cavs' luck might have run out as the Pacers fought hard to come back from a 19-point deficit and managing to narrow the Cavs' lead to just five points.

Canadian billionaire Sherman couple 'murdered'
The Sherman family's own investigative team believes it was actually the work of multiple killers, sources tell the news outlet. Gomes said Friday that from the start, investigators were open-minded as they considered the evidence before them.
"Everything that he's done, and what he's tried to do for us this year and what he's made himself and the improvements in all areas that he's made on and off the court, has just been great".
Davis made two free throws and Miller hit a 3-pointer, but the Rockets evened things for the last time as Harden made a jumper and Ariza hit a 3-pointer.
He scored 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting in the opening period and four of his misses came on shots directly at the rim. It was a cruel twist of fate especially with the way Cousins and the Pelicans managed to eke out a courageous victory over a high-powered Rockets team.
With 8.1 seconds left in the game, Cousins attempted a free throw after he extended the Pelicans lead to 4 with a put back "and 1" under the goal.
Rockets guard Chris Paul, who pushed for a trade more than six years ago from the franchise then known as the Hornets, had 38 points and eight assists.
