The Houston Rockets are back in the win column, snapping a four-game losing streak in a 115-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Toyota Center Wednesday night.
The two teams have begun to build a rivalry over the past few years, with Kevin Porter Jr. playing his first game against his former team. KPJ played well with 16 points and seven assists, but the game was highlighted by the rookies on both sidelines.
No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green and No. 3 overall pick Evan Mobley sparked quite the debate over the offseason between which player the Rockets should draft, and even with Mobley’s career-high 29 points, Green proved to be impressive as well.
