The Toronto Raptors hosted the Houston Rockets on March 8th. The game went down the wire, as the Raptors beat the Rockets, 117-115. The Rockets had a comfortable lead by the end of the first quarter, though the Raptors came back with heaving scoring. Toronto had already clinched a playoff spot, whereas the Rockets are down at 30th in league rankings.

Drake was also in attendance at Scotiabank Arena. It was a close game, but the Rockets rookie turned on the jets for an unreal highlight play.

Drake was impressed by Jalen Green’s block that resembled LeBron James

With under 5 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Raptors had a chance to score in transition. Yuta Watanabe went for a dunk in transition. Just then, Jalen Green, out of nowhere, took off to block Watanabe. It was an insane vertical leap from Green. This block was followed by a dunk by Kenyon Martin Jr. to put the Rockets up by 2.

Jalen Green added only 8 points and 6 rebounds to the stat sheet, but still managed to make a highlight play. Whereas Kevin Porter Jr. put 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Rockets. It was overall a great effort by the Rockets, as Gary Trent Jr. hit the clutch floater over 2 defenders to give the Raptors a 2 point lead with only 4 seconds left on the clock.
