The Rockets have run their winning streak to five games, and in the process have climbed back to .500. Their NBA leading defense during the win streak gave up more points than usual, but that is largely due to about eight minutes of the fourth quarter being garbage time.
We’re beginning to see how the Rockets might come together with a defense-oriented approach, and a multi-faceted attack, with nearly any player being capable of scoring and contributing to a group effort at putting points on the board. Christian Wood might be the focus, but tonight eleven Rockets scored, and five players scored thirteen or more.
