Another week brought more losses as the Rockets continued their losing streak, losing four in a row, falling twice to the Clippers and losing to the Jazz and Nuggets. But on Sunday night, they stunned the Memphis Grizzlies, winning 123-112 behind stellar performances from Christian Wood, Kevin Porter Jr., and Jalen Green. The win snapped a 12-game losing streak and allowed the Rockets to avoid progressing toward another season-high 15-game losing streak from the start of the year.
After a brief stint atop the Tankathon standings, the Rockets descend back down to the second seed at 16-48, tied in the win column with the Orlando Magic (16-49).
