HONOLULU -- As good as Angel Delgado was on offense in Seton Halls 60-57 win over California Wednesday, he knew the game would be decided on defense.Delgado recorded his third straight double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds and Seton Hall did just enough defensively to escape with two wins in as many days at the Pearl Harbor Invitational.After withstanding Californias 52 percent shooting from the field in the first half, the Pirates (7-2) turned the tables in the second by holding the Bears (7-2) to 35.7 percent.I told the guys that we had to get stops. Theyre going to score, because theyre a really good team, but we had to get stops because thats how you win the game, said Delgado, who pulled down a pivotal defensive rebound in the closing seconds.Delgado, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward, made 6 of 9 shots from the field in a game-high 36 minutes played. It was his fifth double-double of the season and 28th of his career.Hes a big, physical player, California coach Cuonzo Martin said. He posts up strong, he posts up deep, he knows how to use his body, he knows where he wants to get offensively and I thought he did a great job really establishing himself in the post, getting to the free-throw line, getting offensive rebounds, so overall I thought he played a good game.Desi Rodriguez scored 15 points and Khadeen Carrington had 14 points with four assists for the Pirates.Carrington tied it at 45 with just under 12 minutes to play on a 3-pointer from the right wing, which ignited a 7-0 Seton Hall run. California never regained the lead.Ivan Rabbs putback pulled the Golden Bears within 58-57 with 31.1 seconds remaining, but Carrington and Delgado each hit a free throw to extend the Pirates lead to 60-57 with 2.7 seconds left.Jabari Bird had a chance to send it into overtime, but his 3-pointer from about 25 feet as time expired was no good.Bird came off the bench to lead California with 22 points and nine rebounds.California closed out the first half with an 11-4 run to turn a four-point deficit into a 34-31 lead.It was just the second meeting between the teams with California winning 81-76 on Dec. 8, 1973.BIG PICTURECalifornia: Rabb, a 6-11 sophomore, struggled for the second consecutive game. He made just 3 of his 8 shots from the field and finished with eight points after being held to a season-low six points against Princeton Tuesday. Rabb, who has been playing with a left wrist injury, entered Wednesdays game averaging 17.5 points per game.Seton Hall: The Pirates reeled off their third straight win despite making just 9 of their 20 attempts (45 percent) from the free-throw line. They shot just 46.6 percent (21 of 45) on free throws for the two-day tournament.HIGHLIGHT REELThe teams exchanged thunderous dunks within a 10-second span with about four minutes left in the game. Rodriguez threw down a left-handed windmill jam for Seton Hall before Bird outraced the Pirates defense for a transition dunk of his own that drew loud cheers from the crowd of about 2,000 spectators that was mostly made up of military service men and women.HE SAID ITI dont think anything is going to make that plane ride feel any shorter besides Ambien, Willard said of the nearly 5,000-mile return trip from Honolulu to New Jersey.DAY OF REMEMBERANCEWednesday was the 75th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, which marked the beginning of World War II.

ATLANTA -- New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry doesnt want to overwork Jrue Holiday as he gets back in full game shape, but there is no question about what the point guards impact has already been for the Pelicans.New Orleans was 2-10 without Holiday. They are 2-0 with him going into Tuesdays game against the Hawks in Atlanta.Holiday, who had been away from the Pelicans during his wifes health crisis, had 21 points and seven assists in 23 minutes in his first game Friday against Portland, then came back Saturday with 22 points and nine assists in 30 minutes of the overtime victory against Charlotte.Anthony Davis, who averages 31.7 points and 11.3 rebounds, scored 38 against the Hornets, including the basket that forced overtime and eight points in the extra period. The Pelicans, though, need Holiday, as their start to the season showed.Huge difference, offensively and defensively, said Davis, who also had 16 rebounds against the Hornets. He brings a presence to the team, energy and effort. When he is on the floor, we play very well.While the Pelicans, who started the season 0-8, have their first winning streak, the Hawks have lost two in a row after a six-game winning streak.Atlanta, which is still atop the Southeast Division at 9-4, lost at Charlotte on Friday, when Dwight Howard was ejected for a fourth-quarter elbow, and on Sunday at New York when Dennis Schroder had his worst game since taking over this season as the starting point guard.Howard had 18 points and 18 rebounds against the Knicks, but Schroder was pulled for good in the third quarter after missing all eight of his shots.Just trying to find something at the point guard spot that would give us a bettter chance, coach Mike Budenholzer said of Schroders benching.ddddddddddddGuys are going to struggle. There are 82 games in a season, said Paul Millsap, who led the Hawks with 19 points in New York.Schroder will need to bounce back against New Orleans, when he will be matched up with Holiday.Despite his long absence from the team, Holiday made 17 of 31 shots in his first two games, including 4 of 9 from behind the 3-point arc.He was also playing for the first time wearing goggles to protect an orbital bone that was fractured last season, ending his year.Holiday was with his wife, former soccer star Lauren, in North Carolina as she gave birth and then had surgery to remove a brain tumor.I think it was just a good time to come back, said Holiday, who came off the bench in his first two games.Atlanta was 2-0 last year against New Orleans but Davis, who scored 43 points in the first meeting, and Holiday missed the second contest.The game against the Pelicans is the only one at home in an eight-game stretch for the Hawks. They play at Indiana on Wednesday, then head to the West Coast for four games.Thabo Sefolosha, a key part of the Atlanta bench, missed the past three games with a knee sprain but should be available against the Pelicans.Buddy Hield, taken sixth overall in the draft, averaged 9.2 points in 20 minutes to start the season with New Orleans but played just 13 minutes combined in the Pelicans weekend victories.Langston Galloway got the extra time and responded, hitting six 3-pointers and scoring 23 points against Charlotte.
