Houston Rockets vs. Indiana Pacers Live Stream & TV Schedule: Jeremy Lin, New Look Rockets To Go Against Pacers In Front of Taiwan Crowd
Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets will try to make it two in a row against Paul George and the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in the second leg of the NBA Global Games in Asia.
Fresh from a 116-96 win over the Pacers on Thursday in Manila, the Rockets would like to sustain their winning form roughly three weeks before opening night.
Dwight Howard recorded 9 points and 3 rebounds in 23 minutes of play while James Harden led the way with a team-high 21 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the field. Jeremy Lin had 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in 23 minutes off the bench.
On the other hand, George racked up 17 points and David West added 14 for the Pacers, who reached the Western Conference finals last year against the eventual NBA champion Miami Heat.
Things To Watch
Lin is expected to log more minutes in Sunday's upcoming showdown with the Pacers. Howard, Harden and George might be legit All-Star caliber players, but in front of a fervent Taiwan crowd, the biggest star of them all will be Lin, whose parents are U.S. immigrants from Taiwan.
Another thing to watch out on Sunday is the rematch between two of the finest centers in the game: Pacers center Roy Hibbert and Howard. During the Manila leg, Hibbert and Howard didn't have enough time muscling against each other in the middle. Hibbert recorded 6 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks in 22 minutes of play while Howard was in foul trouble early in the game.
Of course, this preseason game will help both teams decide which player deserving to start. Lin and Patrick Beverley are both vying for the starting guard role with the Rockets while Danny Granger are putting up better numbers than starting shooting guard Lance Stephenson so far this preseason.
