Rockets still have one forgotten area for improvement to execute their gameplan

The Houston Rockets committed to winning the possession battle in 2024-25. In 2025-26, they've struggled to do so on the turnover front.

Sure, the Rockets are still dominant on the offensive glass. Their 41.4% Offensive Rebounding % still leads the NBA by a considerable margin. That's key, but it's only half of the battle when it comes to keeping the ball in your hands.

The other half is - well, literally keeping the ball in your hands. The Rockets haven't been so strong there. The Rockets' 17.4 Turnover % is the worst in the NBA.

It would be ideal to improve on that mark, but without Fred VanVleet, it could be difficult.
