Houston Rockets vs. New Orleans Pelicans game preview

Calling every game a trap game makes the term lose its meaning. I know people called the Mavs game a trap game (nope), the Nets game was supposed to be a trap game (it was), and then the Kings game was also a trap game until the Kings sat their two best scorers.

The point is, when you’re on an 8-game winning streak and playing as well as Houston currently, is, every game fits into two categories: tough games and games you should win. And every game you should win is a “trap game” because if you lose you fell into the trap.
