The Rockets won one game last week, losing 122-108 to the Golden State Warriors on Monday, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-104 on Wednesday, and then getting blown out by the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, 131-106. They also lost to the Pelicans on Sunday night, 120-107.
The Cavaliers game was one of the most entertaining of the season despite star guard Darius Garland being sidelined. Rookie of the year frontrunner Evan Mobley put on a show, scoring 29 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in his 36 minutes, giving Rockets fans a look at what their team passed up.
