Rockets respond with bounceback win over Grizzlies
MEMPHIS – The Rockets might have preferred to find their shooting touch, to pour in 3s and easily pull away from a young, misfiring team.
Things don’t come easily for them these days, but they might have been better-served with the way they had to top the Grizzlies, 107-100, Monday, easing much of the pain from their terrible loss the night before.
After their lifeless loss to the Heat, the Rockets won with the “energy and effort” James Harden said had been missing.
Harden did put up 44 points with 10 rebounds and six assists with Eric Gordon and Danuel House Jr. combining for 31 points to help make up for the absence of Russell Westbrook, who was held out the second half of a back-to-back.
