The Houston Rockets are rolling, winning their last three games and eight of their last nine. They are finally starting to look how they did last season when they pushed the Golden State Warriors to seven games in the Western Conference Finals.
They have beaten some formidable foes during this three-game streak without their star point guard Chris Paul. San Antonio was one of the hottest teams in the league, but Houston still prevailed. Oklahoma City has a dynamic duo that has them among the tops in the West, no problem there on Christmas Day. Boston was considered an East favorite coming into the season, the Rockets still took care of business a couple nights ago.
