The Houston Rockets are rolling, folks. They are winners of three straight in the absence of Chris Paul, all over playoff teams. They have won eight of their last nine games overall and have looked like their last year selves along the way.
They are also now just three games back of Golden State and Denver for the first seed in the West. Their high level of play has carried them in recent weeks back to being close to the top.
Last night’s win over the Boston Celtics was arguably the biggest one in the streak.
