Houston Rockets Struggling + Hawks Up Next (11-Game Win Streak)
The Houston Rockets showed exactly who they can be… but only for one quarter.
In a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston exploded in the third quarter—forcing turnovers, pushing the pace, and turning defense into easy offense. It was a perfect example of Rockets basketball at its best.
But the problem? It didn’t last.
After a slow first half where the defense struggled and the offense stalled, even a dominant +15 third quarter wasn’t enough to create separation. And when it mattered most, Luka Doncic flipped the switch.
Luka took control in the fourth quarter, cleaned up the mistakes, and led the Lakers to another win—showing the difference a true closer can make late in games.
Now, things don’t get any easier…
The Rockets are heading into a matchup against the red-hot Atlanta Hawks, who are currently riding an 11-game winning streak. Can Houston bounce back and end the streak, or will their inconsistency continue to cost them?
