Second overall pick Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets wrapped up their NBA preseason campaign on a low note as they fell to the San Antonio Spurs, 126-98, on Friday, October 15 (Saturday, October 16, Manila time) at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
The Filipino-American rookie Green bounced back from his previous 5-point outing as he came up with 16 markers in the loss, but his struggles from the three-point land continued as he finished the game on a dismal 1-of-6 shooting clip from deep.
In four preseason appearances for Houston, which ended the preseason with a 1-3 record, Green averaged 10.6 points on a very low 23% shooting from downtown, to go with 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Dejounte Murray and Derrick White had 20 points apiece for the Spurs in the victory, while Doug McDermott added 16 markers.
Christian Wood led the way for the Rockets with a huge double-double of 19 points and 19 rebounds, while Kevin Porter Jr. also chipped in 16 points in the losing effort.
With the preseason now in the books, Green and the rest of the Rockets will look to open the regular season with a victory as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, October 21, Manila time. – Rappler.com
