The Houston Rockets started a pretty tough stretch today. Consecutively, they face the Celtics, Raptors and 76ers. Thankfully, they began it with a big win over the Boston Celtics this afternoon in a prime-time matchup.
The Rockets have now won five games in a row, including wins over the Warriors and Celtics. That resume can be even more impressive if they win their next two, as well. Houston plays a decent few middle of the road teams this month, but they also face Golden State, Milwaukee and Denver, so it won’t be extremely easy as they try to climb through the standings.
