Lee Nailon scored 16 points off the bench and fellow reserve Dan Dickau added 14, helping the New Orleans Hornets rally from an 18-point second-half deficit for a 76-73 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday night, who were without Yao Ming.
Tracy McGrady scored 21 points, but on 5-of-20 shooting.
The Hornets have now won two out of their last three games.
Apparently former President George Bush and his wife Barbara thought the Houston lead was safe, as they left at halftime.
