Reed Sheppard Ignites Rockets' Comeback with 20 Points

Reed Sheppard, returning to a bench role, registered 20 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in 31 minutes during the Rockets' 113-108 comeback win over the Magic. He was crucial in the comeback, scoring 17 of his points in the second half, including 11 in the third quarter and 11 during a decisive 21-0 run. This was his eighth 20-plus point game, and with Jabari Smith's recent ankle injury, Sheppard could see an expanded role against the Heat on Saturday.
