Rockets must tighten up defense and take care of the ball to start getting wins

DEFENSE. DEFENSE. DEFENSE. This concept will excel the Houston Rockets’ ability to win games throughout the season. Although the Rockets are on a five-game losing streak, they showed good stretches of defense lversus the Los Angeles Lakers. After the last game, the Rockets have a 105.9 defensive rating, which is ranked 11th in the NBA. Another fascinating stat is they are 11th in steals too (9.0 steals per contest).

The Rockets have a ton of upside on defense with Jae’ Sean Tate, Kevin Porter Jr., Jalen Green, and Christian Wood.
