The Houston Rockets suffered another five-game losing streak and were completely unable to extricate themselves from the league's penultimate position. However, as a team in the process of rebuilding, the Rockets have had great success this season. They have developed a large number of trusted talented players in the course of their struggles this season. Jaylen Green, a leader in the process of accumulating experience, continues to grow, and Porter Jr., who used to make a big fuss in the Cavaliers locker room, can also turn back, showing his relatively good scoring methods and the ability to comb the team's offense.
It is believed that in the near future, the Rockets will return to the right track with a stunning alliance posture. And this game, head coach Silas pulled the team to Toronto, away to challenge the Raptors. Inadvertently, the Raptors have returned to the right track ahead of schedule, and even played the style of the former championship team at one point, reaching the fifth position in the East. If the Raptors can win this game, they will get tickets to the playoffs in advance. But at the start of the game, they suffered a crazy blow from the Rockets.
Porter Jr. quickly got into shape, giving up 15 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the first 12 minutes of the game, with an efficient shooting rate of 7 shots and 6. Not only that, but there is also Jeshaun Tate, who also has a 9 points and 1 rebound. With the explosive statistics sent by the team's starters, the Rockets actually played a 36-20 score in the first quarter of the game, taking a 16-point lead. The game began with a rush of dominance and dominance, taking the lead in the lead, and the Rockets seemed to have a better chance of winning the game.
But after entering the second quarter of the showdown, the score was in a state of backwardness The Raptors quickly counterattacked accordingly. Siakam shot 5-of-6 and 4-of-5 from the free throw line in the second quarter, delivering a crucial 14-pointer, as well as 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, as well as substitute Thaddeus Young also had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists to help the Raptors play a 37-30 score and recover the 7 points they trailed in the first quarter. At the end of the first half of the game, the Raptors have narrowed the gap between the two sides to 9 points, and there is still a good chance to achieve a final reversal.
The Rockets did not give the Raptors a chance to continue to fight back, but instead clenched the lead in the third quarter and widened the point difference between the two sides to double digits. That's right, in the third quarter of the competition, Porter Jr. played 12 minutes of game time, delivering 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Shen Jing also sent 9 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, and Christopher's key 10 points. With the team's players in a succession of threats, the Rockets sent a 29-28 score, and got another one-point lead. The gap between the two sides was widened to 10 points, and the Rockets were bound to win the game.
But surprisingly, the Raptors did not choose to compromise after entering the final quarter of the decisive victory, but completed the final reversal. That's right, the Rockets were in a scoring drought in the final quarter, scoring only 20 points in a single quarter, and the Raptors, who seized the opportunity, naturally achieved a score reversal with a score of 32-20, and won the game with an aggregate score of 117-115. The prodigal son turned back to the little Potter Jr. this game once again proved his strength. He played 39 minutes in a single game, delivering a game-high score of 35 points, as well as 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
However, while Porter Jr. sent explosive stats, the performance of the other starters in the team was not satisfactory. Jaylen Green only contributed 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Matthews only handed over 9 points, which did not effectively alleviate the overall scoring pressure of the team, making Porter Jr. difficult to support. However, on the side of the Raptors, who completed a 12-point reversal in the final quarter, Siakam sent 29 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, while Trent Jr. also contributed 26 points, as well as Barnes, who handed over 16 points. Facing the relatively balanced scoring performance of the Raptors side, it is indeed time to win.
