The Rockets managed to beat the Grizzlies 117-104, so let's take a look back at an exciting game. In the early part of the season, the Rockets did not perform as well as they should, especially with losses on the road, which dropped them down the rankings for a while. However, their form has picked up recently, and the Rockets are expected to extend their winning streak against the Grizzlies.
At the start of the game, the Grizzlies fielded five players, including Rose, Williams, Roddy, Jackson and Biyombo, while the Rockets started with VanVleet, Green, Dillon, Smith and Shin Jing. After the start of the first half, the Rockets had some difficulties on the offensive end, but as the game progressed, they gradually found their offensive rhythm. Especially in terms of three-point shooting percentage, the Rockets gradually widened the score gap with the Grizzlies.
In the second quarter, Eason was the surprise player for the Rockets, and his outburst helped the team extend the lead, and at the end of the first half, the Rockets led the Grizzlies by 14 points. In the second half, the Grizzlies launched a fierce counterattack, at one point narrowing the score to 1 point. In the third quarter, Grizzlies' Jackson played well and helped the team quickly close the score. However, in the fourth quarter, the Rockets rediscovered their offensive form, and an 11-3 offensive wave once again extended the score advantage.
Ethan's continued play helped the Rockets seal the win, and the Rockets won 117-104 over the Grizzlies at the end of the game. In the game, Rose showed a good performance, he played well on the offensive end, contributing 19 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. And Jackson of the Grizzlies went all out, and he scored 44 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists to chase points for the team.
In contrast, the Rockets' VanVleet was not as good as he could be in terms of offensive efficiency, finishing the game with just 11 points, five rebounds and nine assists on 2-of-8 shooting. And Green's performance was also quite bad, he only got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, and failed to play as well as he should. However, the Rockets' victory would not have been possible without the merits of their bench players.
In particular, Ethan's outburst in the game became the key, and he contributed 25 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist in the game, which played a key role in the team's victory. And Shen Jing was not in good shape in this game, and in the end he got 9 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-8 shooting, becoming the lowest plus/minus on the team. In this game, the victory of the Rockets allowed them to rebound in recent form, and also brought a wonderful game to the fans.
Expect the Rockets to continue to play well and achieve more victories in the next games.
