houston rockets schedule
Ah, the mistakes of youth.
Reeling from a lopsided and deflating 124-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets (16-14) try to get back to their winning ways, but will have to face the surging Atlanta Hawks (19-9) tonight when they come to the Toyota Center in Houston, Tex.
Despite another heartbreaking loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, the Houston Rockets (16-13) are still on a roll, their backcourt tandem of James Harden and Jeremy Lin still firing on all cylinders as the team has rattled off seven win out of 10 games in a testing and tough two-week schedule thus far.
The last time the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs met on Dec. 10, the game saw a moment of "Linsanity" from Jeremy Lin, a historic first-ever triple-double from Tony Parker and a heart-stopping, high-scoring shootout that went into overtime in a 134-126 win for the Spurs.
There's been little doubt that Jeremy Lin has been on fire in the last week or so.
Can anyone stop the Houston Rockets?
For Jeremy Lin, James Harden and the Houston Rockets, all they want for Christmas is four straight wins.
If there are any things we have learned by watching the Houston Rockets after nearly two months of NBA basketball, it's these things...
When Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey scored two coups prior to the kickoff of the NBA 2012-13 regular season, stealing overnight star Jeremy Lin from New York and arranging a trade that landed Oklahoma City's NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden in Houston, it was with the expectation that these two young studs would power the Rockets into playoff contenders in the West for years to come.
Two nights removed from their epic win against the Eastern-Conference leading New York Knicks, 109-96, Jeremy Lin, James Harden and the Houston Rockets are looking to keep that momentum going tonight in Houston
Tuesday's 109-96 win for the Houston Rockets against arguably the best team in the East, the New York Knicks, was monumental for the young Houston franchise for a variety of reasons.
Based on the fans' votes, Jeremy Lin could very well be starting for the West when the NBA All-Star Game comes to Houston this February.
It's been hard to get a read on these Houston Rockets, even after more than a month of NBA regular season play.
