HOUSTON — Consistency. It’s one of several attributes coach Stephen Silas would like to see the Houston Rockets grasp during the final five games of the 2022 campaign. And during the first quarter, it appeared that the Rockets had found a way to sustain their high level of play from Wednesday night.
Behind 14 points from Jalen Green, the Rockets jumped out to a 41-26 first-quarter lead over the Sacramento Kings. Houston’s offense started to fall apart in the second quarter and failed to recapture its momentum en route to a 122-117 loss to the Kings.
