Over a 3-hour period last night, the Rockets grabbed the league’s longest winning streak AND the league’s best record in terms of fewest losses and winning percentage. The league is noticing, but now the target on Houston’s back grows larger.
One team that has never shrunk from the Rockets is the Portland Trail Blazers.
Damian Lillard obviously gives Rockets fans nightmares to this day. C.J. McCollum keeps getting better. Al-Farouq Aminu and Meyers Leonard have had some great games against the Rockets.
Houston will dodge Jusuf Nurkic, who’s out with an ankle injury.
