It was shaky at times, but the Houston Rockets’ 22 made 3-pointers was just enough to outlast the Toronto Raptors in a hotly contested showdown on Thursday. With both clubs coming off tough losses, it was Clutch City that came through down the stretch as they pulled away for a 119-109 victory over Pascal Siakam and the Raptors.
It wasn’t the prettiest of starts as the Rockets averaged one turnover per minute for the first six minutes of the game, but Houston never was down by more than three points throughout the course of the game.
