Jalen Green shook off a slow shooting start to score a game-high 29 points, but it wasn’t nearly enough for a young Houston squad to win in Monday’s 123-104 road loss (box score) versus James Harden and the veteran-laden 76ers. The Rockets (13-44) have lost six straight games, while Philadelphia (37-19) has won its last three.
Harden, a former Rockets star and a potential free agent target in the 2023 offseason, led the 76ers with 28 points and 10 assists on 9-of-18 shooting (50.0%) and 4-of-9 on 3-pointers (44.4%).
