On Sunday at FedExForum, Dillon Brooks, a guard for the Houston Rockets, hit a 3-pointer to secure a win against his former team, the Memphis Grizzlies. Brooks, who spent six seasons with the Grizzlies, scored 24 of his 26 points in the second half after a slow start. The Rockets overcame an early deficit to win 103-96, with Brooks leading the second-half comeback. He hit a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left for a 99-94 lead and stole an inbounds pass shortly after to secure Houston’s fifth consecutive victory. The Grizzlies paid tribute to Brooks with a video during a first-quarter timeout, which he appreciated. Despite this, Brooks reminded everyone that his team is now 1-0 against the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole, a player for the Washington Wizards, silenced critics with an impressive performance against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. He scored 30 points by the end of the third quarter and added eight assists, helping the Wizards snap a six-game losing streak and upset the Pacers.
