Rockets’ win in Sacramento proved constant growth amid losing season

Kevin Porter Jr. crossed half court of the Golden 1 Center with the ball in his hands late in the fourth quarter. With 1:37 left on the game clock, the Houston Rockets held a one-point advantage over the Sacramento Kings and hoped to revenge a loss sustained against their current opponent nearly 48 hours earlier.

Christian Wood came down to the perimeter to set a pick for Porter with the intention of giving his point guard enough space for an open shot. Porter, who connected on four of his triples prior to his latest attempt, drilled his fifth three-pointer of the game as the Rockets took a 114-110 lead with 78 seconds left in regulation.
