It wasn’t long ago when the Rockets started the season 1-5, on a four-game losing streak, and the world was crumbling. Then, they bounced back in a big way. Houston won 8 of its next 10 games, blew out opponents, and played real Rockets ball.
Now, they’re facing losing four straight- again. It would be easy to say, “this team is weird,” but that’s not accurate. They had made lineup adjustments, shots started falling, and, most importantly, they were healthy. It’s not a coincidence that the Rockets have lost two straight without Chris Paul.
