Rockets had a 16-point lead (96-80) with 4:44 left in the game. Should've kept the foot on the gas and won by 20+ points.

It was much more stressful than it had to be (Rockets win 100-96), but at the end of the day it's another Rockets win. They won a tough back-to-back on the road. 32-14 record. Finally a much needed day off before another big game at Memphis on Thursday night. An undefeated road trip would be amazing! Head into February with a 33-14 record. 2nd seed in the West.

Also Dillon Brooks grabbing Trae Young by the neck late in the game. I loved the physicality and intensity. But thankfully it's all good in a win. LOL

Tired legs and all the excuses you can make playing a back-to-back on the road. Especially after beating a juggernaut like Boston. Just glad the Rockets won again.

Trailblazers beat the Bucks, badly.

Portland now 3-1 vs the Bucks since trading Dame to Milwaukee 😂

18-29 Portland almost as good as 18-27 Philly

When your 29th in the league and you play against the 30th place team in the league:

What you guys think Toronto can get for Bruce Brown?

Word on the street is a 3 team trade involving Butler and GSW

Wiggins to Toronto

Butler to GSW

Brown to Miami

I don't want to trade this dude tbh

Toronto is discussing buyout with Brown lol

What a fall from grace since his time in Denver

Tatum consistently putting up concert tour date shooting numbers these days lmao

Alperen Sengun didn't even play tonight with a minor calf injury. After being selected a first time all-star.

And the Rockets still lead at Memphis, 66-56 at halftime. 10-point lead on the road. 2nd seed vs. 3rd seed in the West.

Amen Thompson at halftime:

14 PTS
4 REB
2 AST
1 STL
3 BLK

Carry us home in the second half! Amen Thompson. And Jalen Green has a game high 15 points for either team.

If the Rockets had Sengun it would be easy money. Even without Sengun they appear headed for a win. Hopefully. I can't bet on them so I didn't jinx them.

Rockets have a tendency to cough up big leads late in the game so hopefully they come out in the second half and take it to the Grizzlies on the road.

Feels like Amen Thompson's wingspan is unmatched for a 6'7 defensive superstar.
Blocking the 7'4 Zach Edey ain't no joke. He blocked Evan Mobley few games ago.
Amen can legitimately play all five positions on the court and defend anybody also.
