The Houston Rockets head into the All-Star break with a 33-24 record and sit in fifth place overall in the Western Conference. It’s certainly not where many people thought they’d be come February when asked at the beginning of the season, but considering how things started out, it’s not a terrible place to be.
Houston began the year 11-14, but has a 22-10 record since, which is a .687 winning percentage over the past 32 games. If they keep racking up Ws at that pace, they’ll grab 17 of their final 25 games for a 50-win season.
