In Kevin Porter Jr.’s first career game versus Cleveland, which drafted him in the 2019 first round, the third-year Houston Rockets guard had a very efficient night and came through in the clutch yet again.
Porter scored 16 points in Wednesday’s victory while making 6-of-11 shots (54.5%) on the night, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range (60.0%), and he had 7 assists to only 2 turnovers. Yet again, the 21-year-old showed a penchant for clutch shotmaking, as well, as evidenced by a dagger 3-pointer in the final two minutes to put the game away.
