The Houston Rockets were back in action on Friday night, albeit in the NBA 2K tournament. Phoenix Suns big man Deandre Ayton selected the Rockets as his team of choice, which was a wise decision, as they carried him to victory in the first round, over Zach LaVine‘s Miami Heat.
This gave Rockets fans an opportunity to hear Ayton express his thoughts on the Rockets, which we normally wouldn’t hear. Ayton mentioned Robert Covington‘s size, which has made him one of the best defenders in the league. He also stated that the Rockets were triple-teaming him during his last game against the Rockets, which is erroneous.
