Houston Rockets' Kenyon Martin Jr. shoots as New Orleans Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas defends during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, March 17, 2023, in Houston. The Rockets were not just down, trailing by as much as 16, and by 14 with nine minutes left, they had been bullied. If there were sand on the court, Jonas Valanciunas would have kicked it in someone’s face.
“The Pelicans, they always give us a fight,” guard Kevin Porter Jr. said after the Rockets ended a five-game losing streak to the Pelicans. “We wanted to give them a fight. The last time, in NOLA, they gave us a beating, and we remember that for sure. That’s basically what the game was, physical, intense.”
“It says … we’re moving in the right direction; we’re feeling good about ourselves. There’s been improvement.” “I wasn’t the first option, but as the first few options weren’t open, I just flashed to the ball and just trusted myself,” said Smith, who returned to the floor to give his father the game ball and then returned to the locker room to be drenched by his teammates.
When they returned in the fourth quarter, Sengun answered. Valanciunas, who had 20 points and 15 rebounds when he took a seat with three minutes left in the third quarter, had two points and grabbed two rebounds the rest of the way, with Silas repeatedly praising Sengun’s fourth-quarter defense.
