Houston Rockets: How the Grizzlies made Harden’s historic night a non-factor

Last night, the Houston Rockets took on the Memphis Grizzlies and put on more than an entertaining battle. Although the Houston Rockets were favored to win in what was predicted to be a high-scoring game, especially since winning their last matchup in November, the Houston Rockets weren’t able to bring the W back to Houston.

Before tip-off, Austin Rivers was inserted into starting line up for Russell Westbrook who sat out last night in a strive by the team to manage his workload. So this makes me wonder, was this loss due to the absence of Russ on the court, or because of the undeniable rookie talent playing his best game to date?
