Everything was clicking for the Houston Rockets in the first part of the game.
Shots were falling, defense was stout and the team found themselves up 24 points just 16 minutes into the game.
Unfortunately for the Rockets, it all went downhill from there in a 117-115 defeat.
The Rockets held a 53-29 lead with 8:32 to go in the second quarter and Kevin Porter Jr. led the way. Scoot was fantastic for the second game in a row, leading the team with 35 points.
Jalen Green struggled coming off the heels of five straight 30-point performances.
