Rockets guard Patrick Beverley learned of the passing of his grandfather just hours before Sunday’s game against the Spurs tipped off, but he still participated in the must-win (for Houston) matchup.
The Rockets got Beverley involved early, with James Harden finding him with a pass as he got open on the perimeter in the first minute of the game. Beverley drained the three-pointer with ease, and then pointed to the sky and shed a few tears as tribute to his grandfather.

The Rockets were clearly trying to have Beverley score their first points of the game, and sure enough, he did.
