#Rockets ran Cash as an ATO. Instead of someone coming off both screens with an Iverson Cut like the play usually starts with, Jalen Green slashed inside after one screen and dunked it down. Great wrinkle by Stephen Silas. pic.twitter.com/XiJAk4obsL – 8:27 PM

I get the Bengals comparison from a small-market-gets-superstar standpoint.
But the Bengals went from one of the worst teams in the league to the Super Bowl. Ja Morant and the Grizzlies beat the Warriors in the play-in last season and took game 1 at Utah. Not exactly the same. – 6:01 PM
