Despite struggles on the defensive end of the floor, the Houston Rockets have shown a lot of great signs in the early stages of the regular season.
Houston’s three victories have a combined margin of just eight points. A case can be made that Houston should’ve defeated some of their weaker opponents, like the Pelicans, by a bigger margin, but the Rockets have shown they can win close games and execute effectively when everything is on the line. That’s a huge win for a team that is still trying to get a new superstar integrated into the offense.
