HOUSTON — This was the third meeting of the season between the MemphisGrizzlies and HoustonRockets. The Grizzlies had lost both prior games, and they needed things to go differently.
MemphisGrizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins called Thursday's game against the HoustonRockets a test. A battle between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds in the Western Conference lived up to the billing.
Jalen Green tied his career high with 42 points, capped by a layup that gave Houston the lead late, and the Rockets rallied for a 120-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
