Dillon Brooks had 27 points, Alperen Sengun and Aaron Holiday added 20 each and the host Houston Rockets sailed to a 146-117 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.

Houston never trailed in its second straight victory over the Pelicans after getting a 109-97 win in New Orleans on Thursday night.

Houston’s Amen Thompson was a rebound shy of a triple-double with 15 points and 11 assists when he was injured with less than six minutes left. He limped to the locker room, but the team didn’t immediately provide details on his injury.

Zion Williamson scored 20 for the Pelicans.

WIZARDS 118, RAPTORS 117 >> Jordan Poole scored 34 points and NBA-worst Washington won its second straight game, beating host Toronto when Raptors guard Jamal Shead’s running layup at the buzzer was ruled to be late.

Bilal Coulibaly added 18 points and 10 rebounds to help the Wizards improve to 13-49.

RJ Barrett led Toronto with 23 points.

HORNETS 105, NETS 102 >> Miles Bridges scored 26 points and host Charlotte used a finishing 12-0 run to beat Brooklyn and snap a nine-game losing streak.

Bridges added 12 rebounds, five assists and a huge blocked shot in the closing seconds for the Hornets, who trailed 102-93 with under 3 1/2 minutes remaining.

D’Angelo Russell had 28 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Nets, who lost their seventh straight.

HEAT’S ADEBAYO FINED $50K >> Heat center Bam Adebayo was fined $50,000 by the NBA on Saturday for making inappropriate contact with and directing profanity toward a referee.

Adebayo’s actions came after the conclusion of the Heat’s 106-104 loss to Minnesota on Friday, when he missed a 3-point attempt that would have won the game.

Minnesota’s Julius Randle leaped to contest the shot and Adebayo ended up falling to the court after the shot. The NBA determined Saturday that referees were correct in not calling a foul, saying in its Last 2 Minutes report there was only marginal contact on the attempt and further contact came after the ball had already been released.

ROCKETS’ SHEPPARD OUT AT LEAST 4 WEEKS >> Houston rookie Reed Sheppard will miss at least four weeks after fracturing his right thumb. Rockets coach Ime Udoka announced Sheppard’s status Saturday and said that the injury is to the top of his thumb and not the lower portion, which is a “better outcome.”
