Giants - Rockets 92-95

Rockets forced 29 Giants turnovers. 30 personal fouls committed by Giants helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The former international guard Abel Joseph (200-1990, college: Holland) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists for the winners and Roosevelt Whylly chipped in 25 points and 16 rebounds. At the losing side Adam Johnson responded with a double-double by scoring 17 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks and the former international Michael Bain (185-1985) scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Five Rockets and four Giants players scored in double figures. Giants' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
