Saturday night marked a low point in Jalen Green's young career as he turned in a 10-point, 3-for-13 clunker against the Timberwolves in Minnesota.
That ugly performance continued a difficult shooting stretch for the second-year guard, his effort coinciding with an NBA-worst 13th consecutive loss for the Houston Rockets. Perhaps more concerning than Green's misses was his lack of energy and engagement, with numerous empty offensive possessions followed by Green walking up the floor as Minnesota sprinted to baskets in transition.
Monday night featured a notable turnaround for Houston's leading man.
Green led all scorers with a career-high 42 points in Monday's 119-114 victory over Minnesota.
