Aaron Brooks scored 27 points and Luis Scola added 13 with 12 rebounds on Tuesday as Houston overcame outstanding showings from Chris Paul and David West to beat New Orleans 108-100 in a National Basketball Association contest.

Paul had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his 11th career triple-double and first this season. West had 44 points and 12 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to stop the Hornets from falling to 2-13 on the road this season.
