The Houston Rockets are definitely the most amazing team for fans this season, when they are not in good shape, they can experience a wave of the longest losing streak in the league, and after finding the state, they can also achieve a wave of consecutive wins without being optimistic at all, the last game against the morale of the Grizzlies, the Rockets upset win once again ended the embarrassing losing streak, whether it can be as blockbuster as the last time has become a topic of concern for Rockets fans! But it is very difficult to continue to soar, because in this regular season, the Rockets encountered the Eastern Conference leader, after the start of the game, the Momentum of the Rockets in the first half has been very strong and has been clinging to the score, but in the third quarter, the Heat began to exert their strength, extending their lead to 12 points before the final showdown, and finally they also defeated the Rockets 123-106, achieving a wave of three consecutive wins, further consolidating their ranking of the first place in the East!
The Rockets were able to beat the Grizzlies in the last game, which had a lot to do with their excellent performance on the offensive end, but in this game, the absence of gordon and Wood's two core players further reduced the overall strength of the team, although Sagu, who replaced Wood in the starting lineup, performed well, contributing 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block of personal data, but also let the team's bench scoring ability decline.
Backcourt double gun Jaylen Green and Porter Jr., continuing the excellent form of the previous game, in which Porter Jr. hit 7 goals in 15 shots, including 5 three-pointers, cut 22 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, while Jaylen Green also performed well outside the three-point line, scoring 20 points on 4-of-10 shooting, in addition to the three of them, the Rockets only had bench Martin Jr. and Christopher scoring in double figures, which was obviously not enough to help the team win cold.
In this game, the performance of Tucker, Lowry and Oladipo three rocket veterans became the focus of fan attention, the desire shown by the two in the game is completely different, Tucker obviously wants to prove himself in front of the old club, Tucker, who is not the main point of the team, made 12 shots in this campaign, cutting 11 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists of the double-double data, while Lowry only shot 3 times in the game, no 1 point score, which is also the reason why the fans ridicule Tucker's ruthlessness, and Lowry's hands are merciful. In contrast, Oladipo, who returned from this battle, performed decently on the bench and scored 11 points.
The Heat's best offensive performance in this game was Butler and Hiro, the starting Butler, in the 29.2 minutes of his appearance, contributed 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 7 of 11 shooting, while Hiro was off the bench, hitting 12 goals in 18 shots, including 6 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, cutting a team-high 31 points with great efficiency, in addition to 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In the last regular season game, the Heat beat the second place 76ers in the East, further expanding their lead in the standings, from the current situation, the Heat are very hopeful to enter the playoffs with the first place in the division, and look forward to the next game, the returning injured players can be integrated into the team system as soon as possible, helping the Heat to go further in the playoffs!
