Impact Jalen Green had a rough night offensively Thursday, but Smith stepped his game up and notched a team-high 24 points -- his fifth straight game with 15-plus points and the second time he surpassed the 20-point plateau in that stretch. The second-year forward has scored 15 or more points in nine of his last 11 appearances, and he's settling quite well as a reliable go-to scoring alternative for the Rockets in the post, especially with Alperen Sengun (ankle) still sidelined.
