Ryan Anderson could not finish Monday night's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs after his back tightened up. On Wednesday, he'd again sit against the Utah Jazz. The Houston Rockets would end up losing both games without him.
On Friday it seemed iffy whether Anderson would play, but he'd end up giving it a go, and the Rockets blew the doors off the Chicago Bulls. The stretch four would pour in a game-high 21 points while shooting 50 percent from three.
It was great to have him back in the lineup stretching the floor and providing some much-needed size.
