Perhaps the biggest positive about last night was the scoring distribution. Jalen Green led the team in scoring with 21 points, but not far behind were Tari Eason and Amen Thompson with 18 each. Next were Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks with 15 each, and Alperen Sengun had 13 points to go along with 11 rebounds.

It is rare when a team can feature two defensive-minded wings capable of dismantling an opponent's game plan. That the Houston Rockets have two such players coming off their bench makes for an even more unique set of circumstances.
