Sometimes life intervenes in an interesting way. Something came up towards the end of this game, and I couldn’t get on the recap right away. As Jeremy Brener details here it turns out there were reasons for some mysteries of tonight’s game.
Why didn’t Christian Wood start? Where was he after a terrible eight minutes in the second quarter?
Why didn’t Kevin Porter Jr return? Was it an injury?
The Rockets looked absolutely awful in 2nd quarter, and considerably better in the 2nd half, although the second half was largely garbage time. Why was that?
