Dillon Brooks with a technical foul. He has been on Zach Zarba for so long and so often tonight, it did not take much to reach the last straw. – 9:46 PM

A Dillon Brooks yechincal foul just drew one of the loudest roars in the FedExForum today. – 9:46 PM

For all the physical fatigue the Kings are facing at this point in the season, mentally they look tapped. Self-inflicted wounds are unnecessary errors have been the bane of this team since 2024 started. – 9:44 PM

Brandon Ingram hit two key midrange shots back-to-back to secure the win in Memphis.
Brandon Ingram just hit consecutive 3s with the Pelicans in disarray and trailing by 6 points to even things up.
Another shift of positive momentum? – 9:43 PM

Aldama rushed up on Sengun after he was fouled. Aldama gets a technical foul. Brooks plays peacemaker and makes the free throw. – 9:34 PM

The Nets’ largest margin of defeat in franchise history was 52 points against the Rockets in 1978.
They trail Boston by 51 with just over two minutes remaining. – 9:31 PM

Sengun finishes a drive and draws Jackson’s fourth foul. JJJ takes a seat. Sengun, however, just 2 of 7 from the line. Grizzlies up 10. – 9:31 PM

Grizzlies 58, Rockets 49 at half. Rockets erased much of the damage from a dreadful start, cutting a 23-point lead to five. Still, can’t be proud of that. Brooks with 10, but just 2 of 7. Hinton provided a lift, has 7. G.G. Jackson with 15 in 17 minutes off the Memphis bench. – 9:13 PM

Jenkins challenges a ruling that a loose ball went out off the Grizzlies. Would give Memphis possession with 18.9 left in the half, up nine. – 9:10 PM

The Grizzlies’ second quarter has just been messy. Turnovers, missed free throws and less ball movement. The Rockets have trimmed a 23-point deficit to seven. Two minutes left in the second quarter. Grizzlies lead 54-47 – 9:05 PM

Sengun blocks a shot, gets the rebound and goes coast-to-coast for a slam. Smith follows with a steal and takes off for another. This time, when Udoka met his players before they could get to the bench in a time out, it was for some way-to-gos. Rockets have cut 24-pt lead to 7. – 9:04 PM

There is a bright spot in this game for the Rockets: Nate Hinton. Kind of a shame Rockets needed a guy that has played in 10 games to inject some life to their defense, but he has. – 8:54 PM

The Pelicans have begun the second quarter on a 14-0 run. They’re now up 45-26 on the Wizards.
Let’s see if they can keep their foot on the gas unlike in Memphis. – 8:48 PM

Rockets finally had a good moment, a Jae’Sean Tate drive to an off-hand slam. Two seconds later, Ziaire slammed an alley-oop on Tate. Grizzlies by 19. – 8:39 PM

They played “Love TKO” by Womack & Womack in-arena during the quarter break of Grizzlies-Rockets and I’ve never been more pleasantly surprised by an in-game needle drop. – 8:39 PM

Grizzlies 36, Rockets 21 after 1. Grizzlies 8 of 15 on 3s, but outplaying Rockets in just about every way. Memphis with as many 3s from 28 feet and beyond (2) as Rockets have hit 3-pointers. Rockets shoot 31.8 %. Grizzlies with assists in 12 of 13 FGs. Rockets with 2 assists. – 8:35 PM

Grizzlies, who have been the worst offensive team in the NBA this season, take lead to 24-14, making 9 of 16 shots including 6 of 11 3s. Udoka time out with 4:24 left in a slow start first quarter. – 8:27 PM

We’re going to lose on the road to the lowly Memphis Grizzlies, aren’t we? At this point without a last second foul we would lose to a high school team on the road. #HoustonRockets – 8:18 PM

Through four minutes, the Grizzlies have not attempted a shot inside the 3-point line. Nor, should they. They are 5 of 7 on 3s, lead 15-7. Luke Kennard, who always seems to like seeing the Rockets, is 3 of 3. – 8:15 PM

He might get up 15 tonight. – 8:15 PM

Many cheers for Dillon Brooks in introductions in Memphis. Speaking of Brooks, ICYMI, a look at why he is having the best shooting season of his career, with his feeling that Ime Udoka’s confidence in him “lights the green light.” houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… – 8:07 PM
