The Houston Rockets paid homage to the Grit ‘n Grind Memphis Grizzlies of the 2010’s with a 111-91 victory Wednesday night. The 20-point margin may show that this was a blowout, but trust me when I say that this was a much uglier game to watch.
Jalen Green came alive in the third quarter as this was truly a game of two halves. His 26-point outburst in the second half offset a lackluster first half that resulted in the Rockets trailing by one at the midway point. The 34-point night for Green also featured an electric dunk over reigning DPOY Jaren Jackson Jr.
