Tonight, Dillon Brooks had hijacked the TD Garden, and no one had any response. The 29-year-old Houston Rockets forward was on fire, draining buckets for fun. Three quarters into the game, he had surpassed his career-high three-pointers in a game, sinking 8 clean ones. Riding high on confidence, Dillon Villian didn’t forget to bring his usual antics on the court. After successfully selling a flop against Jayson Tatum, he engaged in an ugly act, leaving the Boston fans raging.
Coming into the game, the H-Town had defeated the Cavaliers twice in a row. Imagine the morale in their dressing room. More importantly, it reflected on their game tonight. Especially, Brooks was on a mission right from the tip-off. However, the Celtics are still the defending champs. They orchestrated a comeback. Jayson Tatum, who had a scoring slump in the first half, caught fire in the third quarter.
The superstar dropped 15 of 19 points in the third quarter alone. This surge indeed had the Rockets worried and Dillon Brooks has his ways to respond. Halfway through the third quarter, Brooks chasing red-hot Tatum in the perimeter, flopped and forced a turnover. Following the whistle, he was on the floor, pulling out a questionable dance move.
