Houston Rockets backcourt shines in preseason loss to Heat

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green finished the 2021-22 season with a flourish, tallying six 30-point contests in his final seven games. And if Monday night is any indication, Green is ready to light up the scoreboard once again in his second NBA season.

Green led all scorers with 25 points in Houston’s 118-110 Monday night loss to Miami. He needed just 28 minutes to accomplish the feat, and the preseason tilt featured Green flashing his full offensive arsenal. The 20-year-old phenom banged home five threes on 10 attempts from beyond the arc, and he blew by the defense en route to the rim on numerous occasions.
