With 3:11 left, Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. missed a 10 footer to tie it. The Bucks had run him off the 3-point line, as they had to Rockets shooters all night, but he could not convert off the dribble. Antetokounmpo ended that with a strong drive through an Alperen Sengun foul, but he missed his free throw with 55.3 seconds remaining, leaving the game tied.
Green led the Rockets with 30 points, making 12 of 21 shots and scoring 11 fourth-quarter points. Porter added 18 with seven assists. But the Rockets won the game with defense, holding Antetokounmpo to 16 points on 7 of 17 shooting and to just three fourth-quarter points.Early in the second half, the Rockets soared through a run of highlight plays that had John Lucas jumping, chest-bumping and dancing. They could have used a simple catch-and-shoot 3.
In the previous six games, however, they had made just 30.6 percent. On Sunday, they missed their first six attempts from deep. Both were familiar faces around their teams. Both grew up considering their fathers their heroes. Both wanted to follow in their fathers’ footsteps and did. Though Stephen Silas did not inherit his father’s game or build, he did become an NBA coach as his father did for 23 seasons as a head coach or assistant.
