ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tom Savage made it through Houstons preseason finale against Dallas unscathed despite getting slammed on his back while scrambling late in the third quarter.The third-year quarterback popped back up after a play that unfolded not far from where he sustained a season-ending shoulder injury on the same field in the same game a year ago.Already chosen as the backup to Brock Osweiler, Savage converted a pair of fourth downs for touchdowns -- both to running back Akeem Hunt on a run and a pass -- and the Texans beat the Cowboys 28-17 Thursday night.Savage, who was toppled on the short run and driven to the ground by Dallas defensive end Ryan Russell, was 12 of 18 for 119 yards as the Texans went 4-0 in the preseason for the first time.I dont think that was the smartest play of my career, Savage said. And it was in front of all the guys, so I couldnt slide. But Ill learn from it. Ill get down.Dallas quarterback Jameill Showers, currently the backup to rookie Dak Prescott with Tony Romo sidelined by a broken bone in his back, played the whole game as planned, but might not have helped his roster hopes much. The second-year player had a first-quarter touchdown pass, but fumbled at the Dallas 19 to set up Houstons first touchdown and threw an interception that was returned 9 yards for a TD by Antonio Allen.Showers, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, finished 10 of 25 yards for 91 yards.The Cowboys signed another former Texas A&M quarterback, Jarrod Johnson, before the game in case Showers was injured, but hes unlikely to last. Dallas figures to add a veteran backup, making Showers status more tenuous.Its only one day, but it feels like three weeks, Showers said of Saturdays roster trim from 75 to 53. Its waiting to find out your destiny. Its what all of us dream about since we were 9 years old. Its out of my control.Savage led an 80-yard drive to the other score by Hunt, a 10-yard catch on fourth-and-3.Savage was the third-stringer a year ago when he got hurt late in a Dallas victory. With the backup job his now, it didnt matter as much what Brandon Weeden did facing his former team.Weeden, who lost three starts as the Dallas backup last year after the first of Romos two broken left collarbones, threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Keith Mumphrey. Weeden also had an interception returned 59 yards for a touchdown by rookie Anthony Brown.Weeden finished 9 of 13 for 116 yards.ROOKIE WATCHTexans: KR/RB Tyler Ervin, a fourth-round pick, was held out of the return game, a good sign for his chances to have that role after gaining 111 all-purpose yards last week.Cowboys: Brown, a sixth-round pick, stepped in front of Weedens pass to Cecil Shorts III along the sideline and ran untouched to the end zone late in the third quarter. ... Darius Jackson, another sixth-rounder, had an 18-yard touchdown on a screen pass from Showers to open the scoring.POSITION BATTLESTexans: Kenny Hilliard and Hunt got most of the carries as the Texans try to sort out things behind Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue at RB. Hilliard had 27 carries for 89 yards, and Hunt ran 12 times for 44 yards.Cowboys: CB Deji Olatoye didnt help his cause for a job in the Dallas secondary. He was burned several times, including on Mumphreys long touchdown. ... DE Mike McAdoo, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, continued a strong preseason with a sack and two tackles for loss.QUOTABLE- Cowboys WR Dez Bryant on the start of the regular season: Weve been waiting all the way up to this point. I cannot wait. Its time to go out there and see where its at.- Texans CB Charles James on Allens pick six: I saw him bobbling it, and Im like, `Catch the ball. Youre fixing to score.

NEW ORLEANS --The Golden State Warriors have been deadly efficient during the last three seasons, and the odds are they will prove it again Tuesday night as they close out a five-game road trip over seven nights against the feisty but undermanned New Orleans Pelicans.The 21-4 Warriors extended an incredible streak on Sunday night, coming back from 10 points down in the final quarter to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-108. The Warriors have gone 111 games without losing consecutive regular-season contests.The Warriors all-time NBA record is 16 games better than the next-longest streak set by Utah in 1997-98 during the glory days of Karl Malone and John Stockton.Its really one of the most impressive streaks that Ive ever seen, to have gone that long, Golden State coach Steve Kerr said after the comeback win over Minnesota. Thats a lot of games. The schedule catches up to you often in this league, and its kind of catching up to us right now. (This) was four (games) in five nights, and it will be five in seven after New Orleans.Kerr didnt have much to fret about in the fourth quarter against Minnesota. The Warriors somehow summoned the energy to outscore the Wolves 38-20, with Klay Thompson scoring 14 of his game-high 30 points in the final 12 minutes.(Its been) a lot of travel, Kerr said. We didnt have great energy, but you can see the resilience in the fourth quarter and the way our guys came up with five or six straight stops to start the quarter, which was huge in changing the momentum.Added Thompson: Twelve minutes is a long time for this team.The Warriors already have beaten the Pelicans twice this season, but the games have been surprisingly close. They defeated New Orleans 122-114 on the road Oct. 28, despite 45 points by Pelicans forward Anthoony Davis.ddddddddddddTen days later in Oakland, Golden State won 116-106 in one of the greatest stage performances of Stephen Currys young career. Curry poured in 46 points, setting the NBA record for most made 3-pointers (13) in a single game. His record flurry came one game after he had gone 0 of 10 from behind the arc.The 8-17 Pelicans had lost five straight and had been 1/3 in overtime games before outlasting the Phoenix Suns 120-119 on the road Sunday night. It was the first game back for Davis, averaging a league-high 38 minutes a game, after being rested on Saturday night in a loss to the LA Clippers.But Davis was far from the story. Point guard Tim Frazier recorded the first triple double of his career (14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists) to snap the Pelicans ugly losing streak, which included a double-overtime home loss to Philadelphia, which had lost 23 consecutive road games.It feels good, Frazier said of his triple double. I had a couple of them in the D-League, but it feels good to get one in the NBA, just to say I did it.Frazier also recorded five steals against the Suns.Youve got to understand -- hes just a tough kid, New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said. We ask him to do a lot of things. We ask him to do things that All-Star guards do, and he never says anything. He just goes out and gives us the effort.The victory also marked the return of point guard Jrue Holiday from a three-game absence due to a turf toe. Holiday, who scored a game-high 23 points, is expected to play Tuesday night against the Warriors. Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans (knee, calf) is getting closer to returning but has not played this season. ' ' '
