A little earlier this season, head coach Mike D'Antoni made the comment that the Houston Rockets could wake up, fall out of bed and score 100 points.
He's right. Scoring points has never, and will never, be a concern for James Harden and Company. Defense is, and will continue to be, the biggest bugaboo for the Rockets.
While they have shown some pretty impressive defense in some games this season — particularly during December — of late it seems to have dropped off. The slide has not gone unnoticed, and during practice Tuesday, defensive coordinator Jeff Bzdelik acknowledged he's happy to see the defensive play pick back up in the Rockets’ current four-game winning streak.
