The Rockets are all smiles in Toronto after a 119-109 win at the Scotiabank Arena.
Given the events from Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, this was a much-needed jolt for the team to move them back in the right direction.
The Rockets lead for the entire first half and built a lead as large as 16 in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, the Raptors pieced together a 16-1 run spanning nearly four minutes and turned the game around.
However, instead of falling deeper into the hole, the Rockets pulled themselves out, stealing back the lead late in the third quarter and never relinquishing it in the fourth.
