Houston Rockets 118, Philadelphia 76ers 104: Hi, KJ!

K.J. McDaniels got to say hello to his former team in the best way possible: solid play in a (mostly) solid win. The Houston Rockets haven’t given McDaniels a lot of chance to prove himself in this dismal season. Veterans have been the order of the day, and head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been desperately trying to carve out wins. Against the Philadelphia 76ers, however, K.J. was given the chance to get some burn, and he burned the Sixers in turn. The Rockets now sit a full two and a half games above the 9th seed Utah Jazz, likely to make the playoffs and get obliterated in the first round.
