The Houston Rockets faced the Detroit Pistons with a tough mission to win. While it wasn’t too far from this season, the Texans didn’t have Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. or Alpern Sengun. In other words what do you mean by your best players. But in times like these, when both teams are watching the draft and the results are relative, there is always room for surprises and this is exactly what happened. The Rockets won in a resounding manner, defeating the Pistons through an offensive rebound in the final minutes and thus prevailed from 117 to 114.
This meeting, unlike the others, had a name that was original. with so many casualties and absentees it was Osman Garuba Who had the opportunity to be more important and the man from Azquéca de Henares did not miss the moment.
The former Real Madrid player had one of his best games of the season against the Pistons, arguably the best. Not only did he sign some excellent numbers, but he’s had a real and notable impact for Houston, which was evident from the moment he entered the track. in their first 9 minute game on parquet, Rockets lead their opponents 15 points. In short, going from being down 15 in the first quarter to reaching a tie halfway through the second is when we regrouped.
Garuba was the soul of a second Texan unit that was hardly needed to decide the score. With winning actions, effort and dedication, the Spaniard has shown he deserves a place in the team’s rotation, especially after missing the last two games and finding a foothold in the last one. The player combined the positions of four and five without any problems, helping to open the field and contribute to rebounds, where he is one of the best in the team in terms of efficiency.
But the best was yet to come, because with the game at its end and the Rockets down, Garuba hit two triples without missing To minimize the gap and thus lead your team to victory.

A final touch to a sensational match where, once again, they barely needed to score to matter, however this time they did. Together 8 points on 3 of 3 field goals, 6 rebounds and 1 assist Osman Garuba was crucial on 19 minutes for the Rockets’ second win in four matches.
,I was a bit motivated as I didn’t get a chance to play in the last games as they took me out of the rotation.” said a Garuba who wanted to send a message through the media. “But I have continued to work and play to show everyone that I can be a good player in this team, that I can develop if I play in the right position.”
“Winning is very important, especially for a young team like this”continued on AT&T Sports. “But even though we are a young team, it’s going to win the league, with that you get everything: a better contract, sponsorships, everything.
