HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets did not score their first basket until the 7:44 mark of the first quarter due to a made free throw by Jalen Green. Twenty seconds later, Christian Wood nailed the Rockets’ first field goal of the night after Houston missed their first seven shot attempts at the start of the game.
The Rockets overcame their premature offensive struggles by outscoring the Golden State Warriors 15-4 over the next several offensive possessions. But it wasn’t enough to prevent the Rockets from sustaining a 122-108 loss to the Warriors Monday night inside the Toyota Center.
