If the first official matchup between Jalen Green and Cade Cunningham is anything like the rest, the NBA is in for a treat.
Green finished with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists while Cuningham had 20 points and pulled down 4 rebounds but unfortunately for the Rockets, it was Cade’s team that walked away victorious - winning 112-104.
When fans decided to check the schedule to see who would be featured on Wednesday’s ESPN slot, many of them undoubtedly scratched their heads. And after an opening quarter of basketball, they likely grew even more confused.
While both Houston and Detroit were playing hard, they were also playing an unpleasant level of basketball; that would eventually change.
