Fan videos on social media show the emotional moment where the crowd held up their cell phones during the song, lighting up the arena.

Wednesday night's show was the first of two at Toyota Center for Timberlake's Man of the Woods Tour. His second show is Friday.

The team will wear a special ribbon on their jerseys in honor of Santa Fe.

In addition to the tributes, the Rockets announced their 50/50 Raffle and First Shot for Charity will benefit the Santa Fe Strong Memorial Fund.

Tip-off is at 8 p.m.
