Beijing time on December 16th! The NBA regular season continues today, with the Rockets playing against the Cavaliers. The game ended with the Cavaliers beating the Rockets 124-89. In this game, the Rockets faced this season's Eastern Dark Horse Cavaliers and did not show the team's recent "small strong" state, which was suppressed by the opponent. In the first quarter of the game, Rockets coach Stephen Silas left the game accompanied by many staff members, and the team's assistant coach John Lucas replaced the former. According to the latest news, Silas has experienced a dehydration reaction and is currently infusing fluids.
The Cavaliers hit a 24-10 offensive climax in the first quarter and directly played the game. With 10 minutes and 47 seconds left in the third quarter, Rockets guard DJ Augustine complained to the referee about the penalty, and the former was expelled after receiving two consecutive technical fouls.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the half, the Rockets trailed the Cavaliers by a score of 38-69. Jaylen Green, who has missed several consecutive games due to injury, updated his social media, writing: "I just want to play! ”
The Knights who won this game have already won a five-game winning streak. After this game, the team's record has reached 18 wins and 12 losses, ranking fourth in the East. The Cavaliers, who did not make big moves in the offseason, seem to have completed the rebuilding and become a super dark horse in the East that cannot be ignored.
This season, although the Cavaliers do not have a big star, although they have Love, but he is not an absolute main force in the team, this season only averaged 20 minutes per game, and did not play as a starter. The reason why the knights can achieve such a result can be said to be the role of all the soldiers.
