Postgame Show: Rockets fight off Pelicans, Jabari Smith Jr. shows out
Jabari Smith Jr. really does look different this year.
Jabari showed out Tuesday night as the Rockets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 130-128 to improve to 3-0 in the preseason. The Rockets close out the practice games Thursday against the Hawks before opening the regular season this coming Tuesday against the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Jabari looked confident — he was very aggressive Tuesday night, scoring 24 of his 26 points in the first half in less than 20 minutes of play. He hit 4-10 from deep.
Ben Dubose and I discussed the game live in postgame: Jabari’s impressive showing, the big lineup getting the starting nod, Kevin Durant displaying his closer credentials and the skirmish/fight that broke out between Amen Thompson and Jose Alvarado.
