Kyle Lowry had a big second half against the Memphis Grizzlies as he scored 19 of his 24 points to lead the Rockets in scoring as the Rockets held off the Grizzlies 97-93.
Houston led by seven before Memphis went on a 5-0 run to get within 91-89 with 27.4 seconds left. O.J. Mayo grabbed a rebound, took it down the court and finished with a layup to cap that spurt. Lee made a pair of free throws before Rudy Gay's layup with 19 seconds remaining got Memphis back within two points.
"Kyle was the difference," Gay said. "He controlled the game. It's tough when he plays like that, when he drives and shoots like that. He played really well."
"We had to go out there and play a little bit tougher than they did," Lowry said. "I think that ... they definitely out-toughed us (before) and tonight we made it a point to out-tough them."
