Houston — It was more than just a head-to-head matchup between the top two picks from the NBA draft.
In the second half, it turned out to be a breakout game for Jerami Grant, and the marquee matchup between the Pistons’ Cade Cunningham and the Houston Rockets’ Jalen Green took a back seat.
Grant carried the Pistons with 21 of his 35 points in the third quarter and the Pistons rallied to take a 112-104 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday night in their only nationally televised game of the season.
The ESPN broadcast came on the potential of a Cunningham-Green head-to-head matchup, and that didn’t disappoint, either.
