In the decisive final matchup, Udoka's selection strategy was exposed: the Rockets would have to weigh the position of Jalen Green, who is physically superior, if they were to make a choice. Green's confidence was boosted by his dazzling January performance. When Morant hit a superb three-point shot, Green quickly returned the favor with a 2+1. Throughout the game, Green contributed 42 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, setting a new personal scoring high for the season and breaking a career record. He proved himself once again with his exceptional scoring ability and almost became a superstar. !

As the team's sixth man, his stability is still not enough. If he really wants to get a foothold in the Rockets, he must better integrate into the team. Whitmore is known for his strong impact and three-point shooting ability, but his strengths and weaknesses are equally distinct. If Shepherd and Whitmore can play consistently, the Rockets' bench will have more firepower. In the decisive moments of the game, Udoka still trusts the duo of Shenjing and Green. !

Despite committing a season-high 23 turnovers in the game, they were able to have the last laugh. This was due to the precision at the rim in key moments. VanVleet no longer misses as easily as he used to. A precise layup by Green, a foul on Amen-Thompson under the basket and two free throws showed the ability to play hard. Amen Thompson had another double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Undoubtedly, Jalen Green was the first contributor to the turnaround of the game. He jumped to stardom and rocketed to the centerpiece, while Shin Kyung was his right-hand man.
