The Rockets fell behind early. They came back. They got a slight lead at halftime. They extended the lead early in the second half. They lost that lead by the 4th quarter and were down double digits.
Next verse, same as the first?
Nope. Not tonight, not against their “competition” for the 14% chance to draft Victor Wenbanyama, the Detroit Pistons. Tonight the Rockets came back from their late deficit, and won a closely contested battle to eke out a win.
I know, it’s strange.
Tonight the Rockets were missing Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr, and coach Stephen Silas.
