The Houston Rockets are holding on to a 30-18 record with us just crossing the halfway point of the season. At the time of this writing, they’re currently 5th in the Western Conference and only 6.5 games out of first place.
Being the ultimate guardian of optimism, all it takes for the Houston Rockets to get on a hot streak so that way they can chase the Los Angeles Lakers, the No. 1 team for the best record in the West.
It’s not entirely impossible that it could happen but they’ve got to work on their transition defense — the defense in general — but they’ve had some good stretches in these past few games, especially against the Utah Jazz this past Monday.
