Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (4) goes up to dunk against the Toronto Raptors during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Houston.
Dillon Brooks scored 19 points, Jalen Green added 18 and the short-handed Houston Rockets snapped a six-game skid with a 94-87 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday (February 10, 2025). The Raptors led by four early in the fourth quarter before Houston used a 14-2 run to make it 77-69 with about 7 minutes to go. Houston was up by four a couple of minutes later when Green made two 3-pointers to power a 9-3 spurt that extended the lead to 86-76. The Rockets were without Fred VanVleet for a fifth straight game because of an ankle injury and Steven Adams was out because they played Sunday. All-Star Alperen Sengun left in the first quarter with back spasms.
