The schedule Gods didn’t do the OKC Thunder any favors this week and not by purposeful intention. That’s because the Houston Rockets are the hottest team in the association. With the Jazz losing in Denver and the Grizzlies losing at Indianapolis the Rockets take over the longest active win streak with six wins in a row.
The players in Houston were clearly affected by all the drama of James Harden and they were one of the clubs hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
