HOUSTON — With 20 points in 35 minutes, including a team-high 9 assists and five 3-pointers (in 11 attempts, at 45.5%), Kevin Porter Jr. continued his strong run in Tuesday’s upset victory in the young Rockets home finale against first-place Denver.
But for the fourth-year guard, who turns 23 years old next month, perhaps his biggest assist came while not in the game.
