Before the New York Knicks land in Houston to take on the Rockets, let’s take a look at the Houston Rocket’s new look line up and how the Knicks stack up.
The Houston Rockets have traded Clint Capela, and the pick & role, for an open court, no post-up game. By bringing in Robert Covington, a true 3 & D player, they are challenging teams to come out and play five three-point shooters. Along with a renewed intensity on defense, they defeated the Boston Celtics by 11.
The Rockets hardly used their bench and still the Celtics were unable to take advantage of Houston’s lack of height.
