Can you believe it?
For the first time since Feb. 8, the Houston Rockets — YOUR Houston Rockets — have the opportunity to go on a win steak. Oh, how sweet it is.
The Charlotte Hornets, tonight’s opponents, come into today’s game in a very similar situation, riding high on a one-game winning streak. This will be their second game without LaMelo Ball, who is most likely out the rest of the season after undergoing wrist surgery, after winning their first without him against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
Facing the three Texas teams in consecutive games on the road is called the Texas Triangle.
