The Houston Rockets got their first win of the year on Saturday, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 126-123. There were plenty of positive takeaways from the game: Russell Westbrook took over again in the fourth quarter, Danuel House shot well from deep and the offense overall continued to score at a high rate.
Still, though, there are some areas of concern so far after two games, namely team defense, James Harden‘s shooting and the Rockets’ 3-point shooting percentage. Are these legitimate concerns or just early-season overreactions?
