Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green shoots against Memphis Grizzlies forward Xavier Tillman in the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, March 24, 2023, in Memphis, Tenn. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There’s an old NBA adage that in playoff series, when the underdog has a chance to steal Game 1 on the road and falls short, it is in deep trouble in Game 2. The Rockets were not in the postseason, but saw what the real thing looks like, with no idea how much trouble, or what to do about it.
The Grizzlies pounced from the start, scoring with spectacular ease, and then became even more dominant, running the lead to 37 points when they began clearing the bench with 10 minutes still left, before finishing up a 151-114 romp, Memphis’ highest scoring game of the season, within two of the most the Rockets have allowed.
The Grizzlies’ exquisite execution and his phenomenal shooting led to his career night. But the Rockets did not take anything away. They did not interfere with all that execution. The Grizzlies ran their offense and the Rockets let them.
