Rockets rookie TyTy Washington likes the taste of meaningful minutes
Rookie guard TyTy Washington contributed six points, six rebounds and six assists to the Rockets' cause in their two-point loss at Miami on Friday.PHILADELPHIA — TyTy Washington Jr. wasn’t just getting playing time, filling a significant role off the Rockets' bench. He was not just playing more minutes than he had in any previous game this season, save a pair of recent blowout losses when benches were cleared and he finished games because someone had to.
“He’s definitely made progress,” coach Stephen Silas said. “It seemed like the game slowed down for him a little bit. He knows what shots he can get to as far as his floater and his catch-and-shoot. … And he’s doing a little bit better job organizing us. He had six points, six rebounds and six assists without a turnover. Washington's floater in the lane with 3:40 left was the final Rockets field goal, other than a putback off an airball, until Jalen Green finished a drive to tie the game with seven-tenths of a second remaining.
