HOUSTON — The future of Christian Wood has been one of the hottest topics surrounding the Houston Rockets throughout the 2021-22 campaign. But if general manager Rafael Stone had any questions himself, Wood’s performance Friday night should have been enough to cease all doubts.
Wood had arguably his best performance as a Rocket by scoring a game-high 32 points on 11-for-14 shooting from the field, and he connected on four out of his six attempts from behind the arc.
In addition to his scoring, Wood had the best all-around performance of his career. He pulled down 13 rebounds and came three assists shy from his first career triple-double by recording seven dimes.
