The Houston Rockets are currently the hottest team in the Western Conference. The Philadelphia 76ers were the last team to send Houston home in defeat, and that was on Oct. 30. Since then, Houston has rattled off sixth consecutive wins.
Houston’s win over the Indiana Pacers gave them the best record in the Western Conference and the second best record in the league. Houston came out of the gates red-hot in the tail end of a back-to-back. The Rockets led Indiana 12-2 just 3 minutes and 17 seconds into the game after a pair of free throws from Eric Gordon.
