Most of the 13,936 fans in attendance at Toyota Center on Monday night came to the Houston Rockets game to receive a free Jalen Green bobblehead. They left with their jaws dropped after a career-high performance from center Christian Wood, whose 30 points in the second half helped the Rockets defeat the Washington Wizards, 115-97.
The 6-foot-10 big man finished with 39 points on 14-of-18 shooting (77.8%), representing the highest point total by a Rockets player while shooting 75% or better since James Harden’s 56-point game versus Utah on Nov. 5, 2017, on 19-of-25 shooting (76.0%).
