Green, who traces his roots to the Philippines through his mother, showed off his scoring touch as he finished through contact and got his rhythm from the perimeter. He also made four of his nine attempts from long distance.

He outplayed Evan Mobley, the third overall pick, who shot just 6-of-17 from the field and scored 12 points for the Cavaliers.

Green got plenty of help from Kenyon Martin Jr., whose bucket with under eight minutes to go put the Rockets ahead for good, 65-63. Green assisted on a Martin dunk with under three minutes to go, and Martin's triple with 1:45 left sealed the deal for Houston, 79-73.

Martin finished with 17 points in the Rockets' win.
