    Good defence against Ant on last period is huge.

    It really was a defensive masterclass on Ant tonight to finish the game. And the best part is, everyone on the floor did their part on defense. Jalen and Alpi weren’t pulled in those important defensive possessions—in fact it was TARI who was sitting! Surprising, but also shows that Ime is true to his word: you play good defense, you get good minutes

    Really hating this whole moving to the USA but being able to watch drastically less games because of the blackout garbage.

    I don't believe that tells the whole story.

    Green outplayed him.

    Yeah. I don't understand how the Rockets suddenly started playing smarter on defense during Holiday's late Q3 run, but I'll take it.

    How often does a team have 11 more TOs and still win? Rockets were one of the few exceptions tonight.

    Here in the US we say "fewer games" ;)

    Safe travels and happy landings.

    Very good game from Jabari after time off. Happy to eat some crow on this one.

    Fastbreak Points:
    MIN - 23, HOU - 15

    Steals:
    MIN - 10, HOU - 5

    Points off Turnovers:
    MIN - 26, HOU - 8

    Free Throws
    MIN - 84.6%, HOU - 75.0%

    These are areas that Rockets have to start dominating again.

    We have 2 players that had 9 shots...one made 7 of the 9 and the other made 5 of 9....I KNOW the one that made 5 of the 9 took ONE shot in the 4th qtr, the other I think may have shot one as well, though not sure. So, together they shot 12 of 16 for 66 2/3%.On the other hand, we had a guy made 8 of 21...missing point blank shots. 2 of your players with the best shooting % can't get double digit shots. What a joke. This is not an outlier either...it is basically every game that this happens.Low quantity, high volume shooters.

    He kept up with Ant. On fewer shots too. Was what we needed to win it tonight.
