Kevin Porter Jr. hits game winner in return from suspension vs. Wizards

Wow.

That’s what a lot of Houston Rockets fans were thinking after Kevin Porter Jr. hit a game-winning three to seal a 114-111 win over the Washington Wizards to snap an 8-game losing streak Wednesday night.

The dramatic ending to the game makes Saturday night’s “spirited debate” that led to KPJ exiting the Toyota Center that much more surreal.

A moment like this really showcases the power of sport and how a man can get back up no matter how hard he falls.

Despite struggling with his shot all night, Stephen Silas entrusted his point guard with the final shot and he pushed his team across the finish line to grab the win.
