Wizards 108, Rockets 103: Wheels come off for Houston in second half
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green gets squeezed between Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford and guard Bradley Beal during the first half of a NBA basketball game at Toyota Center on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 in Houston.Coming off a rare win, the Rockets might have looked to have made the first steps of a turnaround.
But the Rockets made just 5 of 28 3-pointers, just 1 of 18 in the second half, while the Wizards scored 37 fourth-quarter points when Kyle Kuzma scored 20 of his 33 points. After a timeout, the Rockets’ second in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, they missed their next four shots, all at the rim.
Since the Wizards did not walk from Dallas after Tuesday’s win, it was likely they would wake up. That started with a Wes Unseld Jr. timeout late in the first half when the Rockets led by 19 and continued to start the second half when Houston was sloppy, and Washington attacked the rim as it hadn't to start the game.
