The Rockets earned their first three-game winning streak in five tries this season.
Jabari Smith Jr. #1 of the Houston Rockets celebrates with teammates after hitting the game winning shot to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans 114-112 at Toyota Center on March 17, 2023 in Houston, Texas. Jabari Smith Jr. clapped and clapped his hands, wanting the ball and the game in his hands again.
With that, the Rockets not only showed their improvement in going from blowout losses to the Pelicans to Friday’s comeback, but had their first three-game winning streak in five tries this season. The Rockets, however, answered. And they did it by improving in the ways the Pelicans had been beating them.
The Rockets got the stop they needed, but after Ingram swatted away a Green drive, he finished a break on the other end for a five-point Pelicans lead with 1:25 left. They got a last chance when Ingram missed a pair of jumpers, with the Rockets calling time out with four seconds left.Sengun tried to flop on Valanciunas. It did not go well. But the problem was not just with the whistle he did not get.
For several minutes, they went at each other in the game, posting up and scoring on three consecutive possessions. But when Sengun badly missed a running hook, Valanciunas made a face as if he took a big whiff of a toxic waste dump.
