The Houston Rockets are going through the traditional slate of growing pains as they roll through the first quarter of another lottery-bound season.
Stephen Silas' young squad hasn't necessarily been a threat to opposing offenses, with the Rockets sitting at 29th in defensive rating. They aren't terribly efficient in clutch situations, where no team scores at a worse clip. The most concerning element of Houston's early struggles? A stream over turnovers that will derail even the most talented of offensive attacks.
Houston turns the ball over more than any other team across the league following Monday's 122-106 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
