Everyone knew that this team would be good, but even most Rockets fans didn’t expect them to be this dominant.
Houston went on a 14-game win streak earlier in the year between November and December. Not to be outdone, they followed that up with a 17-game win streak between late January and March. The Rockets their streak snapped by Toronto on Mar. 9, but now they’ve followed that up with eight consecutive wins.
Even in the absence of Chris Paul, the Pelicans were no match for Houston on Saturday night. The Rockets outscored New Orleans 64-37 in the first half and won 114-91.
