On December 14, 2021, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in the Rockets' away challenge to the Hawks, the original unexpected Hawks should have an absolute lineup advantage and will win easily. But unexpectedly, the Rockets were resilient on the court, and the Eagles occupied the initiative on the court in the first quarter, and they won 10 points in a single quarter. Not just in the first quarter, but in the first three quarters the Hawks were dominant. By the time it came to the fourth quarter, the Hawks had a 13-point lead, but the game went into the fourth quarter and the Rockets suddenly played in a very good form!
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets slowly approached the point difference with the play of two veterans, and completed the counterattack in one fell swoop. Eric Gordon hit two three-pointers in the fourth quarter and got 10 points and 1 assist. Veteran Augustine played 12 minutes, shooting four three-pointers and getting 16 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. The two veterans scored 26 points in a single quarter, helping the Rockets to a 44:25 offensive climax, and finally the Rockets defeated the Hawks 130:126 and won the game!
In this game, the Rockets seven scored in double figures, Wood had 12 points and 5 rebounds, Gordon had 32 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Tate had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Shin Kyung came off the bench with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Martin Jr. had 13 points and 6 rebounds, Augustine had 22 points, and Nouaba also had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!
It can be said that the Rockets and these role players can play extremely good form, although matthews and Brooks, who have been in excellent form recently, are in average form, but there are other players on the team who can stand up and help the team, which is indeed a very difficult thing. Being able to push the Eagles, who have been very good lately, to the last second and complete a reversal in the fourth quarter also shows their resilience!
Some time ago, the winning streak has made this young team slowly form a kind of game temperament, and the Texas Xiaoqiang who could not die in the past few years has once again shown itself in front of the fans, and we have reason to believe that this Rockets team will bring greater surprises to the fans in the near future!
