Given that the Rockets blew out the Warriors two days ago, it might be weird to say, but Houston’s 132-112 win over the Sacramento Kings might be their biggest of the year so far.
Not only did they throttle a solid, young team led by rising stars Buddy Hield (23 points) and De’Aaron Fox (19 points), but they easily beat a team that they should beat. The Rockets are still separating themselves against the middle and lower tier of the NBA, and this win tonight shows that they’re most likely still in that top tier.
