Joseph Tugler

ANALYSIS
Tugler couldn't get anything going, throwing up a rare bagel across the board with his only contributions in the box score coming by way of a single missed shot and a turnover during Houston's win. Tugler found himself in foul trouble early, riding the pine for the final 13:50 of the first half, then followed a similar script in the second half, picking up his fourth foul with 13:41 remaining. While it was not the first scoreless performance of his career, it was the first time he failed to dent the box score. There's no indication this was anything more than an off night for the 6-foot-8 forward and he'll look to rebound when Houston hosts Cincinnati on Saturday.
