With 21 points on Friday, his second-highest scoring game with the Rockets, forward Michael Beasley has scored in double figures in nine-consecutive games. That is the longest streak for a Rockets player off the bench since Carl Landry scored in double figures in 13-consecutive games early in the 2009-10 season.
"Just staying professional," Beasley said. "We all have to do our part individually. The stronger the bricks, the stronger the wall. I'm just trying to do my part and stay with my game."
Getting the bulk of his time with the Rockets' second unit, the Rockets have put Beasley in position to focus on the strength of his game as a scorer.
