Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Finishes season on sour note
Rotowire
Tate racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 130-114 loss to Atlanta.
Tate couldn't rack up any shot volume in the loss, resulting in one of his most meager totals of the season. Despite the disappointing final game, Tate's positional versatility should keep him around in Houston next season, unless their 2022 first-round pick makes him expendable.

Porter produced 26 points (10-24 FG, 6-12 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists across 41 minutes during Sunday's 130-114 loss to the Hawks.
Although Porter is finishing his third season as a pro, he's only 21 years old and will serve as a key piece of Houston's youth movement heading into next season. The backcourt will be in solid hands with Porter and Jalen Green, and the team hopes to snag another top pick in this season's draft to complement that duo.
