The Houston Rockets cruised to a 132-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, pulling away early and never letting the margin shrink into a competitive range. Houston’s offense was efficient throughout, and its control of the glass helped create extra possessions that fueled the runaway result. Clint Capela anchored the Rockets with 23 points, providing steady interior scoring and finishing plays around the rim, while Tari Eason added 20 points to keep pressure on Memphis across multiple stretches. R. Sheppard chipped in 19 points as Houston’s supporting scoring helped maintain separation and turn the game into a comfortable, wire-to-wire type of performance. Memphis got strong individual production from Dariq Whitehead (26 points) and Rayan Rupert (21 points), but the Grizzlies couldn’t match Houston’s overall balance or physicality. Despite comparable assist totals (23 each), Memphis struggled to generate enough stops and second-chance opportunities to keep pace. Going forward, the Rockets can point to their rebounding edge (64-37) and overall control as indicators of a complete performance, while the Grizzlies will look to tighten up their defensive execution and rebounding to avoid getting overwhelmed in similar matchups.
