NBA: Dillon Brooks Helps Houston Rockets End Six-Game Losing Run, Pip Toronto Raptors 94-87

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.
