There’s no worse potential matchup in the NBA right now for a team trying to prevent a three-game losing streak than a road game against the Houston Rockets on the second night of a back-to-back, but that’s exactly what the Milwaukee Bucks face on Saturday night.
The deck would appear to be heavily stacked against the Bucks as they make the trip to battle a dazzling Rockets team, while hoping to regain the form of their recent run of six wins in seven games.
There may have been some hope that the Spurs would give the Rockets a really tough game on Friday night, perhaps creating an opening for the Bucks, but Houston looked as convincing as ever in cruising past San Antonio by 15 points.
