After this game, the Rockets won three consecutive preseason games and their current record is 3 wins and 0 losses; while the Pelicans suffered their first preseason defeat and their current record is 2 wins and 1 loss.

In this game, the performance of the Rockets' new starting forward Jabari Smith Jr. was still very outstanding. Smith played 22 minutes and 27 seconds, shooting 7 of 16, 4 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored a game-high 26 points, plus 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus of +23. Smith still showed quite good outside shooting ability on the offensive end. He also created a certain threat to the opponent inside. He also seized the opportunity and scored a lot of points. In addition, Smith's performance on the defensive end is also quite good, and he can also have a certain effect on the defensive end. Overall, Smith's performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive. He also showed his abilities in all aspects. He also proved that he has the ability to play the role of a 3D striker. Smith's performance on the court was excellent, and his series of outstanding performances were also a key factor in the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Smith was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 57 times, averaging 30.1 minutes per game. 12.2 points, 7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.8 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, shooting 43.8% from the field, 35.4% from the three-point range, and 82.5% from the free throw line.

He also had 1.7 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 48.6% from the field, 47.4% from the three-point range, and 90.9% from the free throw line.

Smith's performance during the preseason can be said to be getting better. His performance in the first game of the preseason against the Atlanta Hawks was relatively average, and his performance on both offense and defense was not particularly ideal. However, as the preseason progressed, his performance got better and better. He was able to bring his scoring talents into full play in the subsequent two games, and his outside shooting touch was also quite reliable. In this game, he went a step further and showed his role on the defensive end. Smith is a good 3D forward player. If he can achieve this effect and bring out his characteristics on both offense and defense, then he will also be an indispensable key figure in the team's lineup. Next we can also see if he can perform better on the existing basis.
