Question , though: Steph ran out on the court before the game ended as Melton was driving for the closing layup. Shouldn’t that have been a technical and game stoppage?

Great grit tonight! Helluva win. I’m not sure I’ve seen a celebration on the court by this team like that since winning the title in ‘22.

Craig, I’m a subscriber, and I want to share this. Is it behind a paywall, or is it a free post? Thanks.

Anthony, is there a deadline for JK to accept qualifying offer?

If healthy, his skills as a scorer have not eroded, and don’t show any signs of doing so. No reason to believe that he can’t be an effective, reliable, and clutch scorer for 3-4 more years. But, staying healthy is the question, IMO.

He’s not washed up, or even close. But, he is brittle. No doubt about that. So, I agree Rockets overpaid.
