A year after the NBA lost a legend in Kobe Bryant (R.I.P Mamba), the Houston Rockets are on their longest winning streak since James Harden was traded away. With John Wall facing his old team for the first time and Russell Westbrook coming back to Houston with a short-handed Wizards team, this game had many storylines and a mix of great and not-so-great moments, which ended in the Rockets extending their winning streak.
From injury bugs to COVID protocols to the whole Harden drama, the new-look Rockets have gotten off to a rough start to the season but it seems like the team is starting to build some chemistry now.
