For what seems like the first time in forever, the Houston Rockets are facing a team on a back-to-back without being a back-to-back themselves.
Last night, the Detroit Pistons lost by 36 points in Philadelphia. They shot 38% from the field as a team and were outrebounded 55-34. It’s a game they almost assuredly can’t wait to rebound from as they return home to take on an up-and-down Rockets squad.
Life without James Harden continues for the Rockets. They are now 1-1 without the Beard, though they showed real fight against the Warriors at Toyota Center.
