Houston Rockets: The latest battle that the team is trying to win

This past Wednesday night, the Houston Rockets played the second game of their doubleheader, coming home to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite being questionable with his injury, P.J. Tucker was cleared to return along with Russell Westbrook amid Carmelo Anthony‘s return to Houston with a healthy Trail Blazers team.

Playing back-to-back, it has been proven that James Harden usually isn’t effective by the second game, and with coming off a 40-point game Tuesday, he was going to have to step it up in order to compete against one of the highest-scoring backcourt combos in the league.
