The Rockets have stumbled into some unfortunate history with their loss to the Heat tonight.
There are moments when a team or players wants to be part of NBA history. Those moments usually involve scoring the most points in a single game, getting the most blocks, assists or winning the most games as a team. Tonight, the Houston Rockets became the first team in NBA history to lose their first three games by exactly 20 points each to start a season.
Immediately after the loss I ran a quick query against the Basketball Reference database to see if in fact any team had started the season by losing three straight by 20 points each.
