Competitive in defeat: Takeaways from Rockets' loss to Magic
Orlando Magic forward Chuma Okeke, left, dribbles upcourt as Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder looks on during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Friday, F b. 25, 2022, in Orlando, Fla. The Rockets’ schedule resumed Friday with what was seemingly a winnable game, or at least the most winnable they will have for a while.
Rockets coach Stephen Silas noted the stretches of stagnant offense, the 18-point second quarter among them, as well as defensive breakdowns that saw Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. dominate the paint and his teammate Chuma Okeke dominate the perimeter. “That’s what I was thinking, like I hope he jumps,” Green said with a playful grin. “But he didn't jump. He came down after the play and he was like, ‘You know I wasn’t jumping, right?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know.’ He made a joke like, ‘Bleacher Report gonna post Jalen Green dunks on man!’ I wanted him to jump, though.”
Green scored 10 points in the fourth quarter on 4-of-7 shooting. He attacked the Magic’s zone defense and led the Rockets to within three points inside the final five minutes. Silas was impressed not just by Green’s scoring, but by the diversity of his impact on the game.
