The ClutchFans Live Postgame Show goes on the air as Dave Hardisty and Ben DuBose break down everything that just happened after the Houston Rockets handled the New Orleans Pelicans at Toyota Center on 1/18/2026.
Houston rode a balanced offensive attack and a breakout night from Jabari Smith Jr., who caught fire from deep and carried the scoring load as the Rockets controlled the game down the stretch. Jabari scored 32 points and hit a career-high seven three-pointers. Kevin Durant quietly made history, climbing the NBA’s all-time scoring list late in the fourth quarter — a moment that brought the crowd to its feet and capped off a meaningful night for the franchise.
The show reacts in real time to strong performances from Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun, the unfortunate ankle injury suffered by Steven Adams and the defense that helped keep the Pelicans from flipping momentum. Dave and Ben also discuss Smith’s offensive explosion and how this win fits into the bigger picture for a Rockets team trying to find rhythm.
