Houston is playing with more intensity and defense and doesn't want a letdown after...
Jalen Green and the Rockets were able to walk off the court as winners on consecutive nights for the first time this season.Confetti streamers showered the Toyota Center court for the second night in a row, an unusual yet welcome sight.
“It feels good,” Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. said. “We don't want it to be short lived, though, so we got to continue this intensity that we've been playing with.”Jalen Green lit up the bottom of the net with six 3-pointers but also distributed nine assists. Alperen Sengun faked and pivoted his way to outlandish finishes under the basket. Jabari Smith Jr. jumped over opponents to snatch rebounds.
Silas saw his team blow a 20-point lead to the Pacers eight days earlier, and multiple times before that witnessed turnover-laden collapses and bungled opportunities. Even when the Rockets outscored the Thunder by 20 in the second quarter, even when they were up 27 midway through the third, Silas did not harbor an illusion of safety.
“I think we're just tired of losing in general,” Green said. “We're coming together, all buying in on the defensive side, and I think that's what is helping us out.”
