The Houston Rockets can continue their push towards the third seed in the Western Conference tonight by knocking the Sacramento Kings out of playoff contention. The Kings’ tragic number is down to one, though they have exceeded all expectations this season and will likely be a force in the coming years.
Like all games down the stretch, this one is a must-win for Houston. Thursday’s blowout win reaffirmed what fans have known all season: the Rockets match up well with the Denver Nuggets and need to do everything in their power to see them in the playoffs.
