The Memphis Grizzlies started their series finale with the Houston by tweaking the rotation. Chandler Parsons got the nod for the starting lineup, and Mario Chambers replaced the injured Mike Conley. They joined Marc Gasol, Dillon Brooks and JaMychal Green in the lineup.
After the opening tip, each team exchanged buckets. Ryan Anderson was wide open when he scored from deep, scoring the first points for the Rockets. Then Dillion Brooks drove to the basket for the layup. Chris Paul scored a three, and the Rockets kept firing from deep.
Parsons finished after a nice drive, but then the Rockets went on a run.
