In the NBA regular season, the Rockets hosted the Grizzlies, and the two sides had a huge disparity in strength, but the Rockets' repeated mistakes prevented the game from winning easily. This article will provide a comprehensive analysis of the game, the performances of Eason and Jalen Green, and the adjustments to the Rockets' overall tactics.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides went back and forth, Smith and Dillon hit three points in a row, and the Rockets once opened up the difference. But then the Grizzlies launched a counterattack, and the Rockets made frequent mistakes, causing the score gap to be narrowed. The Rockets led 29-23 at the end of the first quarter, and the key was that they needed to control turnovers.
At the start of the second quarter, the Rockets maintained their lead, with Smith and Eason contributing 13 and 10 points, respectively, to give the Rockets a 57-43 lead at halftime. After the rematch, the Grizzlies launched a fierce counterattack, and Jackson scored back-to-back points to narrow the margin to single digits. At this time, the Rockets are in a dilemma of mistakes after mistakes.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets took a narrow one-point lead at 82-81. At this time, it can be seen that the Rockets continued to make mistakes in the game, causing the lead to be gradually narrowed. In the crucial final quarter of the game, the Rockets, led by Eason and Jeff Green, rewidened the score gap.
Although the Grizzlies stepped up their comeback in the final quarter, they still lost to the Rockets in the end, losing 104-117. The Rockets made several mistakes in this game, but finally withstood the Grizzlies' offense and won four in a row.
It is worth noting that Eason stood out in this game, contributing 25 points and 14 rebounds, while Jalen Green was abandoned in the final quarter of two consecutive games, so his situation looks a little worrying. In addition to Eason, other players on the Rockets team also performed well, such as Smith, Dillon and Van Jordan.
Overall, the Rockets played well in this game, but they need to be careful to reduce the number of turnovers.
