The Houston Rockets faced the LA Clippers at Toyota Center, with former Rocket James Harden making a notable return. Harden's early performance helped the Clippers, but Jalen Green matched him, keeping Houston in the lead at halftime.
The game shifted when the 'Twin Terrors,' Amen Thompson and Tari Eason, entered, disrupting Harden's rhythm and contributing to a Rockets victory, 111-103. Green led the Rockets with 21 points, while both Thompson and Eason recorded double-doubles.
Houston will meet LA again soon, with higher stakes in their upcoming Emirates NBA Cup game.
