A controversial foul call on Eric Gordon in the dying seconds led to the go-ahead points...
Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis, left, is defended by Houston Rockets forward KJ Martin and center Alperen Sengun, right, during the first half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023, in Houston. The Rockets were three-tenths of a second from the win they desperately wanted, that they had seemed to have done everything necessary to win.The whistle that sounded could barely be heard, but as De’Aaron Fox’s 3-pointer bounced away, Eric Gordon was called for fouling Fox.
Green answered with his fifth 3-pointer. When Alperen Sengun found Jabari Smith Jr. on a cut to the rim, the game was tied 121-121, the 42nd tie or lead change. But Fox stripped Green and went in for a layup. K.J. Martin was called for a charge on Keegan Murray and Fox scored again, pulling the Kings to within one.
They missed the shot but won the game. Fox finished with 31 points and 11 assists while Green led the Rockets with 41, Sengun adding 18 points with a career-high 11 assists.Though it is never difficult to see Green’s obvious talents, there also are occasions when he displays the potential to take his next steps as a go-to scorer.
