Houston Rockets
December has been a month of highs and lows for the Young Rockets team. To illustrate, the Rockets had a five-game winning streak at the Toyota Center with some eye-catching wins over
Teams like Phoenix (twice) Milwaukee and Philadelphia. However, Saturday’s loss to Portland saw the Rockets make three of their 29 three-point attempts (10.3%).
Another example is their loss in San Antonio when the Spurs entered the game with an 11-match losing streak. In the game against Portland, despite grabbing 51 rebounds the Rockets’ defense allowed their opponents to take 36 attempts from the arc of which 13 were made which made the difference in the game.
San Antonio Spurs
