As Yogi Berra once said, it’s like deja vu all over again.
Less than a month ago, the Rockets travelled to Minnesota on a back-to-back looking for their tenth win in a row. Once again, that’s the story heading into this meeting.
That game was bonkers. The Rockets led early, then gave away a huge second quarter and trailed by 13 heading to the fourth. Down 12 with just over 2 minutes to play, the Rockets closed on a 14-2 run to force overtime. The Beard took over in OT, scoring 9 of Houston’s 16 points and assisting on the only other made field goal in the extra period (an Eric Gordon triple).
