Sometimes it’s hard to find a good way of bringing you the same information, the same result, against (annoyingly) the same team, several times in a row. Rockets fandom, if not the Rockets themselves, seems to be at a crisis point. The Rockets record stands at 10-27, when it feels as though it ought to be about 14-23. The last game was summed up by Eric Gordon stating there had been “no improvement” since the start of the season in the team.
Tonight the Rockets seemed determined to prove that assessment wrong. They started brightly, came out with energy on both offense and defense.
