HOUSTON, TEXAS - DECEMBER 11: Jrue Holiday #21 of the Milwaukee Bucks drives to the hoop against the Houston Rockets during the second quarter at Toyota Center on December 11, 2022 in Houston, Texas.

When it missed, Smith grabbed the rebound and battled every bit of Antetokounmpo’s superhero strength until Smith came away with the ball and a foul, throwing a defiant air punch and adding a few exclamation-point shouts to the Toyota Center roars before he would clinch the win at the free throw line., to claim their fourth consecutive home win. They won the only way Sunday’s game could be won, with a phenomenal defensive effort, especially down the stretch.
That brought emotion that drove the Rockets, much as they had in the win to begin the week against the 76ers and lacked in the loss in San Antonio. But the improvement since Antetokounmpo and the Bucks toyed with the Rockets in the third game of the season was not just about wanting to win for their absent coach.
“I always tease Jabari,” Lucas said. “I always ask him, “Did you go get Giannis’ shoes and autograph after the first game.’ I said, “Let’s see how much you’ve grown up.’ He took the challenge.” “Growth. Growth,” Rockets guard Jalen Green, who had 30 points on 12 of 21 shooting, said of the vast difference in the Rockets' play in the two meetings with the Bucks. “You can see in the whole arena, energy from the jump of the game. We were neck and neck with them. We didn’t let them get ahead of us. Giannis getting downhill didn’t defeat us. Jabari stepped up big time playing defense.”
