HOUSTON -- As Rockets guard Jalen Green waited in the home locker room at Toyota Center for teammate Tari Eason to finish his press conference, he paced back and forth. He shook his head in disgust, as if he was replaying his time on the court in six out of the seven playoff games versusthe Golden State Warriors.
When he finally finished pacing, he looked at me and said the words he had often repeated after each bad performance throughout the series.
“I have got to be better,” Green said. “And I will be.”
Green, 23, has been through peaks and valleys with the Rockets since being the No.
