Grizzlies 113, Rockets 99: Second-half flurry extends Houston's skid
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green attempts to drive around Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks, right, during the first half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, March 1, 2023, in Houston. With 7 ½ minutes left and it fair to begin the countdown to Boban Marjanovic time, the Rockets called timeout and as the Grizzlies headed to the bench with the salsa music of the night playing, Jaren Jackson Jr. happily danced along.
They scored 66 second-half points as Bane scored 21 of his 30 to go with nine rebounds. Morant finished with 20 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. But as the Rockets made 6 of 26 shots in the first quarter, taking half those shots from the 3-point line and making just two, there seemed little reason to think the Rockets could hang with the Grizzlies.
K.J. Martin followed that with a 3-pointer and the Rockets were shooting 23.9 percent, and still within three.
