The Houston Rockets bounced back from Tuesday morning’s loss to defeat the Toronto Raptors 118-111 in the second game of the NBA Japan Games. The team once again only played the starters for three quarters, but this time they were able to bring back a win.
The Rockets were led by James Harden and Russell Westbrook, who scored 22 points apiece, but they were just a combined 4-19 from three-point range, with Westbrook taking 11 of the threes (making 3).
I realize Russ is still trying to shake off the rust, but he shouldn’t be chucking that much, even in Houston’s three-heavy scheme.
