Rose retired from injury, and the Rockets counterattacked with 17 points!Dillon takes revenge on his old master, and the last section of the list is abandoned
In this round, the Houston Rockets overtook the Memphis Grizzlies by a staggering 17 points. This was after defeating the Thunder and Denver and they were once again eighth in the West. While they don't have the best hopes of becoming a championship right now, they are a tough team to beat as they back them up with the second-best defense in the league.
In this game against the Memphis Grizzlies, although the current Grizzlies team is no longer in its former glory, they did not stop there. The last round at home was a hard-fought win for the Memphis Grizzlies, and this year's road trip will be even more difficult, especially since their previous game was just 1-8.
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets were in a slump, Green, Dillon, and Smith shot 0 of 9 shots, while Van Jordan only scored 5 points and failed to hold up the team. And the Grizzlies used the excellent play of Vince Williams Jr., Jalen Jr. and Biyombo to put them in the first quarter with 29 points and leave the Rockets behind by 15 points.
In the second quarter, the Rockets rebounded, with Green and Eason each scoring 31 points after halftime, leading their opponents by 10 points. In the second half, the Rockets continued their offensive streak, with Dillon, Jalen Green, and Van Jordan, allowing the Grizzlies to score only 19 points in the quarter, while the Rockets also beat their opponents with 30 points.
The second half was the time for a decisive victory, and the two teams played inseparable. Dillon was the leader of the Rockets, and he scored 12 points in the final minute to give the Rockets a 103-96 victory over the Grizzlies to win the game. Dillon avenged his old club in this game, scoring 26 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.
Van Jordan was also the biggest attraction of the game, he scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and played a key role in this big reversal. Shin Kyung, Smith, Jeff Green, and Ethan all play a big role in their positions.
On this side of the Grizzlies, Bane played particularly well, with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Jalen Jr. contributed 22, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. However, Rose went off the court with an injury after 8 minutes and 39 seconds on the court, which was a huge loss for the Grizzlies.
In short, from the initial 17-point advantage to being overtaken by the Rockets in the end, the Grizzlies suffered another embarrassing loss. The only hope now is that Rose's injury isn't too bad and he can get back on the field as soon as possible.
