If you had the Houston Rockets defeating the Milwaukee Bucks in a defensive battle on your weekend sports bingo card, raise your hand. Okay, no one? I figured.
But nonetheless, the Rockets held the Bucks to just 36.7 percent shooting from the field and 12-for-43 shooting from three, and the team, who were coached on Sunday by John Lucas, dedicated the victory to head coach Stephen Silas, whose father Paul Silas passed away yesterday, and they defeated Milwaukee 98-92.
Jalen Green led the way for the Rockets with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 12-for-21 shooting, but again, it was Houston’s suprise defense that got it done for the Rockets, holding Milwaukee to just 13 points in the decisive fourth period.
