Draymond Green lounged in front of his locker, ice bags draped on his knee and elbow, and a semicircle of reporters hanging on his words.
The Toyota Center’s visitor locker room was home to a conqueror.

Observations from tonight's #Rockets loss:
- What happened with Reed Sheppard's minutes
- Jabari struggles in return
Oof, think that is a missed boxout by Sheppard leading to the Melton OREB + putback
Durant was pissed at Jabari after that layup by Podz, seems like he was expecting a switch and Jabari stayed home (I would also expect HOU to switch that combo)
Sheppard, Amen, Bari, KD, Şengün the first five for Houston in OT
Worth noting, Sheppard was on the floor for that last shot attempt
Wonder if the Rockets go O for D late in this game with Eason and Sheppard
It looks like Reed is going to close. Amen just re-entered the game but took out Eason.
Great close to the third quarter for the Houston Rockets, who lead the Warriors 82-81 entering the fourth.
15-4 run for Houston across the last 3:47 of the frame.
Amen Thompson has 17 points to lead all scorers. Podz with 15 for the Dubs
Reed is cooking man, 15 points on 7/10 shooting. Rockets have won his minutes by three, trail 77-69 to the Warriors with 3:32 left in the third.
This is shaping up to be a game where Sheppard should close.
Hakeem is here!
Suboptimal start for the Rockets, who trail 22-11 with 4:26 left in the first quarter.
Houston shooting 29 percent from the field. Have not loved Sengun's start, all his shots have come from much further out than you'd like. Couple shots from just inside FT circle + one from 3.
Draymond guarding Durant? This should be fun.
Jabari Smith Jr. will play tonight. Rockets going with:
Amen, Tari, Bari, KD, Şengün as their first five.
Amen and Alperen will play tonight. Jabari testing his ankle out.

The Rockets expect two starters dealing with ankle injuries to play tomorrow vs the Warriors.

It has not been an easy season for Dorian Finney-Smith, who is clearly finding his rhythm after offseason ankle surgery.
How his body is feeling, how he (and I) evaluate his season to-date and what could be next in my latest for @HoustonChron:

Observations from a Rockets win over what Ime Udoka called an "inferior team."
- Şengün, Houston dominate inside
- Reed has an all-around performance, leading to potential starting 5 questions
- Turnovers are an issue
- Tari Eason ejected
Link below!
Amen rolled his ankle in the fourth quarter per Udoka, tbd on severity.
118*
Rockets win, 123-115, over the Wizards
Eason gets two techs, gets ejected.
Watkins gets a tech.
