The Rockets didn't have any trouble scoring, but it was the rookie Green who hit shots...
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. dribbles toward the basket during the first quarter of the NBA game against the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at Toyota Center in Houston.Jalen Green, the Rockets’ prized rookie, had been hinting at this for weeks. More than hinting, he had put up unmistakable signs of what was possible.
Green scored 13 consecutive points to end the fourth quarter and begin overtime to put Houston in front. When he drained a dagger 3-pointer with one minute left, he had a career-high 32 points and the Rockets closed out a 139-130 stunner against the Lakers on Wednesday night at Toyota Center. That was enough to overcome LeBron James’ triple-double and the 30 points the Lakers got from ex-Rocket Russell Westbrook.
Before he took off, in a twist that few might have seen coming, the Rockets saw a win waiting for them, a stunner within reach, and decided to get it. They would have to go through James to do so.Green got a step on Westbrook and went to the rim. James blocked his shot with 32.1 seconds left.
