Courtesy of a career-high 42 points on strong efficiency by Jalen Green, the NBA’s worst losing streak of the 2022-23 season is over. With Monday’s 119-114 win (box score) against Minnesota, the Houston Rockets ended what had been a 13-game slide.
Green made 15-of-25 shots overall (60%) and 6-of-12 from 3-point range (50%). He even had a key block in the closing two minutes as Houston (11-36) put the game away. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves (24-25) with 31 points, but he had 6 turnovers to Green’s 1 — a dramatic turnaround from Saturday’s discrepancy between the same two players and teams in Minneapolis.
