HOUSTON — For anyone still doubting the legitimacy of Garrison Mathews, the undrafted prodigy from Lipscomb University put all questions to rest Friday night. Mathews scored a team-high 23 points, but his scoring was not enough as the Houston Rockets sustained a 123-114 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks inside the Toyota Center.
With the loss, the Rockets’ seven-game win streak came to an end, which concluded their longest winning streak since James Harden and Russell Westbrook led Houston to seven straight wins in November of 2019.
Mathews set the tone early for the Rockets by helping the team sustain their sizzling shooting from behind the arc.
