Dillon Brooks led the charge with 19 points, while Jalen Green added 18 points, and the Rockets' defense held strong against the Raptors' offense.

Jock Landale also made a significant contribution with 11 points and a season-best 10 rebounds.

On the Raptors' side, Immanuel Quickley led the team with 20 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Rockets' strong performance. The Raptors struggled from beyond the arc, making only 8 of 42 three-point attempts.
