On December 17, the NBA regular season ended a focus battle, the Rockets played at home against the Knicks, and finally the Rockets lost 103-116 to the opponent, had no chance to reverse, and suffered two consecutive losses. This game, the Rockets, led by Tate and Theth, narrowed the gap in the first half and achieved a comeback in the third quarter. But helplessly, the Rockets collapsed in the late quarter, and they were scored consecutively by their opponents, without limiting the Knicks' three-point shot, regrettably losing.
The rocket's loss in this campaign is still a pity, after all, after the end of the third quarter, they are only 2 points behind in the home game, and morale is also up, both teams have key players absent, of course, the Rockets are missing more players. In the final quarter, when Quakeley and others hit three-pointers, the Rockets did not respond in time. Coupled with the team's consecutive mistakes, The performance of shen jing and Augustine and others was not good, so after the Knicks widened the point difference, the Rockets had no chance to reverse, and the final quarter collapsed and lost.
In this game, the Rockets' meritorious coach TomJanovic came to the scene to watch the game, and the team also played a tribute video, the team owners Fertita, Silas and the famous stars Olajuwon and Tang Shuai took a group photo, both of whom are legends of the Rockets and led the team to win the championship. It is a pity that the arrival of the legendary generals, as well as the unstoppable decline, did not win.
As a result, the Rockets have lost as many as four of their last five games, starting with the loss to the Bucks and losing against the Grizzlies. Against the Hawks, the Rockets staged a big reversal of 19 points behind, but then due to the absence of major players such as Gordon and Wood, they lost consecutive games to the Cavaliers and Knicks, and once again suffered a losing streak, losing the opportunity to narrow the gap between them and the top ten play-offs.
The next pressure on the Rockets is still very large, after all, the opponents are pistons, Bulls and Bucks, and this season the Rockets have lost against the Pistons and Bucks, so this is also a battle of revenge for Silas. Facing the Bulls is the first battle of the Rockets' 7-game winning streak, with a total of 10 Bulls players in a health and safety agreement, and the team is directly affected.
Also looking forward to the next performance of the Rockets, although the team lost to eat consecutive defeats, but still showed full resilience on the field, and strive to end the losing streak as soon as possible in the next step, the Rockets still have the opportunity to impact the qualification of the top ten playoffs in the West, and also hope that the Rockets will have good luck.
