Though Rockets guard/forward Corey Brewer has struggled with his shot through most of the season, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni gave his most forceful statement yet about the quality of Brewer's play overall and his place in the rotation.

"The only thing that Corey might not do is make shots. We all know that. That's what you see. What you don't see is the energy he brings every game, great defense he brings every game, he'll take the hardest guy (to defend) out there every game. And that's like putting it in a lockbox.
