Willie Green says Rockets were 'tougher team' than Pelicans after New Orleans falters late

[RocketMan]

Williamson scored a team-high 28 points against the second-ranked Rockets defense. The Pelicans tried to play through him in the final minutes. Then with 1:54 left, CJ McCollum was charged with a turnover after blowing by his man off the dribble and mistiming a pass to Williamson, who cut to the basket while McCollum was driving. Typically, Green prefers to close games with defensive-minded players next to his two stars, Williamson and Brandon Ingram.
