The Houston Rockets have a few days to dissect what exactly went wrong in their surprising 116-104 loss to the Golden State Warriors this past Christmas Day. The matinee stage was set and everything was laid out for the Houston Rockets to win that game but they failed to seize the task that was at hand.
I’d categorize that game as the worst loss of the season because of the expectations that have been set forth for this team this season. The Warriors are not going places this season and the Houston Rockets should’ve been able to take advantage of that situation as they remained toward the apex of the Western Conference among the elite.
