The Rockets have a modest two-game win streak, the latest coming 115-104 over the Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets took over the game with a 65-point second half, part of a rally from an 11-point, third-quarter deficit.
Interim boss J.B. Bickerstaff coached his you-know-what off, sticking with a small lineup and utilizing the skills of newly acquired Josh Smith, who improves this team with his sharp passes and ability to play strong defense.
