On October 24, the NBA regular season continued, with the Rockets narrowly losing to the Hornets 105-110 at home, failing to secure their opening win.
The Rockets started the game well, with Shenjing and Green performing excellently, helping the team score consistently and gradually take control of the game. They even built an 18-point lead at one point, making it seem like the game would be a foregone conclusion. However, in the second half, the Rockets’ shooting cooled down, while the Hornets seized the opportunity and launched a fierce comeback. With Mann making both of his free throws, the Hornets sealed the victory.
The opening game saw a disappointing 18-point comeback against the Rockets. Despite this, the team’s twin stars performed admirably. Shenjing shot 10-for-22, scoring 25 points, 18 rebounds, and 5 assists, but he made a critical passing error in the final moments, costing the team a chance to catch up; Green shot 9-for-23, including 5-of-15 from three-point range, scoring 28 points. He scored 5 crucial points in a row to tie the game, but the opportunity was lost shortly after.
Besides them, Amen Thompson scored 13 points, and the third overall pick, Shepard, made his debut with 2-of-5 shooting for 4 points.
