From the worst game of the year to the best game of the year within a 2 day span. What We Learned Houston Rockets Edition: Game 44.
This is the Rockets way.
Jalen Green came out on fire. This by far is his greatest showing this season. Can he keep it going? He seems to believe so.
👀 Jalen Green: “There are games when I don’t start aggressive and come into the third and fourth, I’m not aggressive all game. I’m not going to do that anymore.” #Rockets https://t.co/7OtOBMOqo8

The aggression was apparent. Did Tari Eason’s mom give Jalen another pep talk for the ages? Sources are saying, yes.
The youth movement as a whole was on fire with Cam Whitmore banging four threes in a row with a little shit-talking mixed in with Hornets guard LaMelo Ball.
Cam Whitmore really called Lamelo Ball a “Bum a** soft n*gga” then proceeded to hit 4 straight threes 😂😂😂

Cam wasn’t the only star of the youth movement to show out last night. Amen Thompson seemed to give “possible accessory in a murder” Brandon Miller the business.

All around incredible game from the boys. The hope and joy in my spirit is back and nobody can take that away from me. (I’m lying)
On a night where Luka Doncic scored 73, Devin Booker scored 62 in a LOSS, this game was under everyone’s radar as the fireworks were very much in other places. Seeing Lil Boosie not know what to do after every Luka 4th quarter bucket was absolute comedy. I’m sure we will have an absolute field day regarding Luka on Monday’s episode of our NBA flagship show Zero Gravity.
Check out our last episode where we discuss the all star starters being announced and all of our other glorious content over on the ApolloHOU YouTube channel.
Rockets win 138-104. Blowout for the ages.
See y’all soon. What We Learned Houston Rockets Edition: Game 44.
