Embarrassing. The Houston Rockets just lost to the (now) 4-14 Cleveland Cavaliers to drop their second game in a row on the road trip. This one was quite ugly, let’s get right into it.
The Rockets definitely did not come to play, to say the least. They obviously did not value an opponent in Cleveland that has now played three quality games in a row against good teams. They pushed the Lakers to the late fourth quarter, beat the 76ers last night and finally beat the Rockets tonight.
No Chris Paul definitely hurt tonight. His presence on both ends, especially defense, was needed.
