Rockets Ignite Comeback Against Raptors

Only three games lit up the Super Bowl night, and we’ve got the essential breakdown to get you up to speed in no time. Let’s dive right in!

The Night’s Results

• Pistons – Hornets: 112-102
• Rockets – Raptors: 94-87
• Bucks – Sixers: 135-127

Key Takeaways

• Damian Lillard went off for 43 points, leading the Bucks to a dominant victory over the Sixers.
• NBA coaching icon Hubie Brown called his last game—what a career!
• The Rockets didn’t light up the scoreboard in their game against the Raptors, but they got the job done by snapping their six-game losing streak.
• However, injury woes might hinder their upcoming All-Star Game prep: Alperen Sengun exited after just three minutes due to back issues.
• Raptors’ Gradey Dick also had to leave the game early with an injury.
• The Pistons started strong but took their foot off the gas pedal, creating some nail-biting moments late in the game—thankfully, they held on for the win!

French Players Spotlight

• Moussa Diabaté couldn’t celebrate his new contract properly, leaving the game with an injury after taking a hit from Isaiah Stewart.
• It wasn’t a stellar night for Tidjane Salaün either, who was close to a double-double with 8 points and 7 rebounds but struggled with horrible shooting percentages.
• On a brighter note, Guerschon Yabusele shined as a pleasant surprise off the bench, racking up 18 points in a strong finish despite his team’s loss.

Highlight of the Night

“It was a fantastic ride… We tried to come to every game prepared. We tried to be able to show you the difference between the weak side and the strong side… So that we never underestimate the IQ of the audience.”
