The Atlanta Hawks came into Houston looking to put together a winning streak. But this Rockets squad is much better than the rebuilding teams of the past few years, so a win would come as a legitimate challenge on the road.
The Hawks hit threes early on, punishing the double big lineup from the Rockets — Sengun and Smith Jr. — with floor stretching. Trae Young in particular used screens over and over to free himself from pesky defender Dillon Brooks.
