Booker up to 15 points in nine minutes. Rockets up to 12 points. Rockets 4 of 17 with six turnovers. The strategy of falling behind by 16 in the first quarter, which worked against the Suns last week, going well so far. – 9:26 PM

Devin Booker with a handful of words toward someone on the Rockets after knocking down his third 3 of the quarter. He’s got 15 points. Do not make that guy angry. – 9:25 PM

Royce O’Neale just had one of the best chair pulls I can remember seeing in a while on Dillon Brooks, and I watched Chris Paul play here for the last few years – 9:24 PM

Monstars lineup in early w/ Bol Bol as first sub again.
O’Neale sprinting that ball up to find Bol on the break is one of those little things he does so well. – 9:24 PM

Devin Booker was 9 of 19, including 1 of 6 on 3s, scoring 19 points last week against the Rockets. Has made 4 of 5 shots including his only 3 for nine points in five minutes. Can’t say that is much of a surprise. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… – 9:19 PM

Rockets’ Alperen Şengün takes a pocket pass and draws a foul between two defenders. That is the one of the ways the Rockets need to get him touches before double teams get there. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron – 9:16 PM

Jalen Green, the Rockets leading scorer in the first quarter this season, hits a couple early 3s. Was questionable to play during the day. – 9:15 PM

My God, Joe Ingles is so smart. Moe Wagner tried to set a screen for him, but he had Kris Dunn on him. Ingles cleared Wagner out and Called Caleb Houston over to screen cause he had…John Collins on him. Collins defended it poorly and Houston ended up with a three – 7:44 PM

A reminder: Tomorrow’s the deadline is for a player to be waived/bought out and still be playoff-eligible if they sign with another team. So far, the market feels pretty dry, so Saben Lee could very well earn that final roster spot as we touched on here: bit.ly/48qlPyW – 5:09 PM
