| The Rockets were playing the Clippers with a makeshift lineup — Jalen Green and Jae'Sean Tate were serving a suspension and Kevin Porter Jr. was injured — and they showed some heart for three quarters. But then came the fourth. Houston was outscored 30-10 in the final period and dropped its 10th straight game. The trouble in the fourth quarter isn't a new one. "In general, we're playing so good for three quarters," Alperen Sengun said. "The last quarter, we have to learn how we have to play. We're losing our energy." The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon provided many stories of energy and determination to finish. Japan's Hitomi Niiya cruised to the women's title in the marathon to go with her half marathon title here in 2020. In the men's race, Kenyan Dominic Ondoro would complete a double of his own, winning his second Houston title. In the half marathon, Hiwot Gebremaryam ran the kind of race many hope for and few attain. She went unchallenged. Leul Gebresilase worked harder for his win in the men's race. The Ethiopian runner was trading surges with Wesley Kiptoo over the final 100 meters before taking the victory. Stat of the day: 98. Yards that Bengals lineman Sam Hubbard ran with a fumble recovery for a touchdown in a win over the Ravens. It was the longest fumble return for a touchdown in NFL postseason history. |
