NBA Houston Rockets Fall to 1-4 in Overtime After Heartbreaker vs Kings! Part 1 of 2



NBA Houston Rockets Fall to 1-4 in Overtime After Heartbreaker vs Kings! Part 1 of 2

The Houston Rockets’ 125–124 loss to the Sacramento Kings on December 21, 2025, has cemented a devastating season narrative: Houston is now 1–4 in overtime games. Despite a roster featuring Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun, the Rockets continue to struggle with late-game execution and “clutch-time poise.” In this latest collapse, Houston allowed Dennis Schroder to sink a game-winning three-pointer with just 2.2 seconds left in the extra period. Head coach Ime Udoka has been vocal about the team’s inability to finish, noting that they “didn’t deserve to win” after failing to hold off a Kings team that entered the night on a five-game losing streak. With Fred VanVleet sidelined for the season, the search for a steady hand in the final minutes continues to haunt Houston’s championship aspirations.

  2. Her zaman söylemiştim yine soyleyecegim nerdesi 20 yıldır izlediğim adam Keven durant çok iyi bir skorerdir ama asla bir winner değildir

  3. Low basketball iq team. Bad coaching. Fred wouldn’t and won’t save this team. We aren’t the nuggets making excuses for injuries. I’m not going to act like Fred is some perfect player either. I’ve seen him drive down the paint and get blocked multiple times. This team is an embarrassment. More talented than last year and a worse team. How do you over perform and then come back the next season and underperform.

    Also, Turkish fans are dumber than the casual fans here in the states.

  4. It’s like down the stretch they need to have Steven Adam’s in bc Sengun turns into a PF on the boards. They also need a PG. They need someone to orchestrate & break down defenses. Russell Westbrook would be a great addition in January

  5. Until they get another point guard to run the floor while Fred is out they will continue to have these struggles. It has ZERO to do with KD. Nobody expected Fred to get hurt during the summer and now possibly be out for the season. Ime, and the Rockets team didn't plan on playing the season without a point guard. Once fans heard about Fred being out, they should have expected that the season was going to be a challenge especially if the Rockets don't plan on getting another point guard temporarily while Fred is out.

    Besides, the fact that they still have a winning record without a point guard is impressive along with missing 2 other rotational players in Tari and DFS. Most NBA teams would be at the bottom of their conference without their point guard. They still have time to figure it out whether it's Amen getting better at running the offense or the front office getting another point guard before the trade deadline. Either way, fans just have to be patient and hope the Rockets figure it out. Tough loss but on to the next game. Let's go Rockets!!!!

    *NOTE: Regardless, a team's SuperStars are expected to take over every close game with their talent & BBIQ (take no prisoners)!
    NOTE: Who's the SuperStar for TeamRockets…?!
