Shorthanded Rockets End Six-Game Losing Streak With Fourth-Quarter Rally Against Raptors

Houston overcame injuries and the early loss of Alperen Sengun to defeat Toronto 94-87, fueled by strong bench contributions and late-game shooting.

The Houston Rockets snapped a six-game losing streak with a 94-87 home victory over the Toronto Raptors, despite missing multiple key players due to injuries.
All-Star center Alperen Sengun exited the game in the first quarter with back spasms, forcing the Rockets to rely on bench players Jock Landale and Jeff Green for critical minutes.
Dillon Brooks led Houston with 19 points, while Jalen Green scored 18, including two key fourth-quarter three-pointers that helped secure the win.
The Rockets' bench outscored the Raptors' reserves 43-31, with Jeff Green scoring a season-high 14 points and Jock Landale contributing a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Toronto struggled offensively, shooting just 8-for-42 from three-point range, and lost Gradey Dick to a neck injury in the second quarter.
