Game Preview
Mired in their fourth three-game skid this season, the Houston Rockets have suddenly lost the same defensive identity that yielded their unexpectedly positive start to this campaign.
The Rockets had their 11-game homecourt winning streak snapped on Wednesday with a 134-127 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Houston, which will host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, allowed the Hawks to shoot 51.6 percent from the floor and make 17 3-pointers, including 13 of 26 from behind the arc in the first half.
During the skid, the Rockets — who still ranked sixth in the NBA in defensive rating at 110.4 entering Thursday — are allowing 131.1 points per 100 possessions. Only the Charlotte Hornets have been worse defensively during that stretch, making the Rockets’ objective against Dallas crystal clear.
