Bad timing for me for the first game recap of the season. I’m travelling for my best friend’s wedding, so I wasn’t able to get a recap up last night — though Mike and Jeremy dropped the recap pod for you after game. Make sure you check it out.
But the Houston Rockets got off to a good start against a playoff contending Atlanta Hawks team but couldn’t sustain their performance throughout and fell 117-107 in the season opener.
Kevin Porter Jr. led the Rockets in scoring with 21 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals to go along with 9-for-19 shooting from the field and 3-for-5 shooting from three-point range.
