CLEVELAND — After they were walloped in Memphis on Friday, the Rockets might have a difficult time believing the road trip will get tougher. A case can be made, however, that it will.
“You can’t get too down on yourself, but that’s unacceptable,” Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. said. “You got to have more pride, have more up about yourself because it doesn’t get any easier, to Cleveland, New York and Brooklyn. We got to throw out the window and learn from it.” After consecutive road games against the team with the NBA’s best homecourt record, the Rockets will play the team with the fourth-best record on its home court.Here are five things to watch when the Rockets face the Cavaliers.The Rockets will have a quick turnaround from the loss in Memphis and late-night flight to Cleveland to the early tip. Among the lessons taken from the losses to the Grizzlies might have been to be ready from the opening tip, especially on the defensive end.
Green had 32 points on the first game of the trip, but just 13 on Friday, Porter followed a triple double on Wednesday with 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting with seven assists on Friday.
