Dillon Brooks’ second-half explosion

The Rockets suffered a lot of difficulties during the game’s early stages and had even managed to fall behind by 17 points before the third quarter. Nevertheless, Houston fought back, thanks to the dynamism of Tari Eason and Jeff Green on the bench. The game turned in the third quarter when Dillon Brooks scored an incredible 24 points to solidify the dominance of the Rockets.

Post-game, a resolute Dillon Brooks expressed his unwavering commitment to triumph over Memphis: “I don’t want to lose to Memphis ever in my career. Regardless of how we get it, if I go get 20 or if I have zero points, I want to win every single time we play Memphis just to let them know they made a little mistake.” Brooks’ statement shows his will and pride.
