The Houston Rockets are trying to break a three-game skid tonight against the Orlando Magic and get back to making inroads as far as their standing in the Western Conference. The race to the finish line will be fierce with the No. 2-7 seeds all up for grabs and it’s quite possible for the Houston Rockets to elevate themselves all the way up to No. 2.
There is some positivity to the small ball that the Houston Rockets are playing but when it backfires, it’s not anything to write home about. They were flying high in the weeks succeeding the trade deadline when Clint Capela was essentially flipped for Robert Covington.
