The Rockets started the year 1-5, and after just six games, many people were ready to write this team off for the rest of the season. But Houston is starting to turn things around.
On Monday night, the Rockets defeated the Indiana Pacers, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, 98-94. James Harden led the way with 28 points. Clint Capela turned in another double-double, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Chris Paul struggled again from the field, but he did set up his teammates, dishing out a game-high 13 assists over the course of 37 minutes.
