NBA: DeMarcus Cousins produces huge triple-double

DeMarcus Cousins had 44 points, 24 rebounds and 10 assists, Anthony Davis scored 34 points and the host New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 17-point deficit in the final five minutes of regulation before pulling out a 132-128 victory over the Chicago Bulls in double overtime Monday night.

Cousins scored seven points in the second overtime. He became the first NBA player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972 to have as many as 40 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in a game.

Jerian Grant and Robin Lopez each had 22 points for the Bulls, who appeared well on their way to their fifth victory in six games when they opened the fourth quarter with a 23-5 run to take their largest lead at 104-86.

But Cousins and Davis led New Orleans back with a 21-2 run.

Darius Miller fouled Justin Holiday on a three-point shot in the final second of regulation and the Bulls guard made the first two free throws but missed the potential winner.

at Houston 99, Miami 90: James Harden had 28 points and the Rockets overcame a big early deficit. The score was tied with about three minutes left when Harden made a three-point basket just before the shot clock expired. That was the start of a 7-2 run.
