No surprise on tonight’s Dillon Brooks vs. a top player matchup. He’s on Scottie Barnes. – 6:14 PM

Dillon Brooks with 20 points in the half on 8 of 11 shooting, warming up for Toronto, no doubt. Season high is 28, career high 37, both against Portland. – 9:05 PM

More on this storyline
The Rockets (17-9) still don’t have a player averaging 20 points. They were led by Amen Thompson’s 19 off the bench. Dillon Brooks, who spent portions of the game guarding his Team Canada teammate Gilgeous-Alexander, finished with 14 points, as did Jabari Smith Jr. Houston shot just 36.5 percent from the field as a team (35-96). Fred VanVleet, the lone Rockets player to win an NBA championship, struggled to the tune of 3-of-15 shooting and 1-of-11 on 3s. “Sometimes, it comes down to making shots,” Houston coach Ime Udoka said. “Individuals gotta shoot the ball a little bit better. We were in a good spot, but you put a lot of pressure on your defense when you’re not making shots.” -via New York Times / December 15, 2024
