NBA Roundup: Stars Take Over as Hornets, Rockets, Grizzlies, 76ers Score Big Wins

Tuesday night’s NBA action delivered late surges, monster individual performances, and statement wins as several teams leaned on their stars to tilt close games their way. From Charlotte’s composure at home to Houston’s interior dominance and Memphis’ explosive finish, February 3 was shaped by big moments and bigger numbers.

Hornets Rally Late to Stun Pelicans

Charlotte flipped the script after halftime to pull away from New Orleans, 102-95, at home. The Pelicans looked in control early behind Trey Murphy III’s 27-point effort, but their offense stalled in the second half as the Hornets steadily closed the gap. LaMelo Ball anchored the comeback with 24 points and eight rebounds, helping Charlotte outscore New Orleans 53-31 over the final two quarters to seal the win.

Sengun Powers Rockets Past Pacers

Alperen Sengun delivered one of the night’s most dominant performances, erupting for 39 points and 16 rebounds as Houston edged Indiana, 118-114. The Rockets used a huge second quarter to build momentum and leaned on Sengun’s interior scoring down the stretch to fend off multiple Pacers rallies. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 27 points, but Houston’s balance and composure late proved decisive.
