Restart scrimmages prove Rockets’ second unit can be dangerous

Ben McLemore played 24 minutes off the bench during the Houston Rockets’ 119-104 scrimmage victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. He scored 26 points while shooting an efficient 8-for-10 from the field, 6-for-7 from behind the arc. That same game, Jeff Green registered 18 points in 28 minutes, as he came off the pine. By night’s end, the Rockets finished the game with 58 points contributed by their second unit.

Set to resume the season on Friday, Houston will enter the restart with their best opportunity to capture that elusive NBA championship.
