Houston Rockets vs. Memphis Grizzlies: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis
The Houston Rockets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 107-91 Tuesday night in a game that featured several momentum swings. Houston started the game down 10-3, went up 50-38, fell behind 57-53 then outworked and outshot Memphis down the game's final stretch en route to an easy win.
The Rockets' biggest weapon all night was the three-point basket. They went 18-of-35 (51.4 percent) from behind the arc, despite making just 15 of their 42 shots (35.7 percent) from other spots on the floor. Many of those looks were created by offensive boards since Houston had a whopping 18 of those.
