Rockets win streak ends at eight as they lose to T-Wolves 136-132
Defense was optional in the Rockets’ Friday night matchup against the shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite shooting 60.9 percent from the field and a career high 41 points from Amen Thompson, the Rockets were outscored by 33 points from the three-point line, only making 4-of-18 from distance, while allowing the Timberwolves to shoot 15-of-30. The Rockets […]

Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game preview
Remember when we thought this game was going to matter for the tiebreaker? In sports, a few weeks can be a long time. Since these teams met and the Houston Rockets blew a double digit lead in overtime, Houston is 8-0 and looks (at times) to be a much different (read: better) team. The Minnesota […]
Rockets avoid 4th quarter collapse, defeat the Sixers 113-102
The Rockets have won 8 games in row and for most of Thursday’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers it looked as if they would coast to their 52nd win of the season. However, even if you have just followed this Rockets team causally, you were not comfortable even with the Rockets leading 96-73 going into […]
Rockets take on the Sixers in Toyota Center

Houston Rockets vs. Philadelphia 76ers game preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are the only team left in the NBA that can sweep the Houston Rockets. Houston rides into this game on a 7-game winning streak and just one game behind in the race for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Sixers are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference […]
Rockets convert JD Davison to standard NBA Contract
On Tuesday, the Houston Rockets converted JD Davison’s two-way deal to a traditional NBA contract, theoretically helping the Rockets’ ongoing need at the point guard position. Davison has been with the team mostly all season, although he hasn’t spent much time on the floor. As a two-way signee, Davison was limited to just 50 NBA […]
VOTE: Potential Rockets playoff opponents
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week’s question has us looking forward to the 2026 NBA Playoffs. The Rockets currently sit […]
Rockets make it seven in a row with 119-105 win over Phoenix
I’ll ask for your understanding with another recap that is getting started at about 2am where I am. That’s fairly late by almost any standard, even Rockets fandom. Still, here I am, and here it is. Please pardon any errors, it’s now 3am. A win tonight would be significant for the Rockets in several ways. […]

If you’re in […]
Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns game preview
Tonight is the final road game for the 2025-26 Houston Rockets. Their next road game will be Game 1 or Game 3 of their first round series. Obviously, this is a game that many associated with the Phoenix Suns have had circled on the calendar. Jalen Green has missed all three previous games between these […]
Rockets should still value Tari Eason
Time is linear: At least, in terms of human perception. Little else is. An NBA career is certainly not always linear. There’s a tendency to falsely assume it will be. A rookie is bad on league-wide standards, and we accept it. They improve incrementally until year three, when they’re officially good, and then continue to […]
Rockets get out of the Bay (area) with a win 117-116
This one will actually be fairly brief, as it’s very late for me. It almost got very late for the Rockets, too. Despite having a double digit lead in the 4th quarter, the Rockets almost (but didn’t!) lost it late. If you’ve ever seen most games where the Rockets play Golden State in San Francisco, […]
Stay Up Late With Rockets At Golden State
Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors April 5, 2026 Location: Chaste Center, San Francisco, CA TV: NBC/Peacock, Radio:KBME Sports Talk 790 / KLTN 102.9 (en español) Online: NBC/Peacock, Rockets App, SCHN+ Time: 9:00pm CST
Former Rockets coach Mike Dantoni to be inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame
Mike D’Antoni, who served as head coach of the Houston Rockets from 2016 until 2020, is headed to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The news was first reported by John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98 in Phoenix, where D’Antoni coached the Suns from 2003 until 2008. “An important figure in the evolution of modern […]
Jaden Ivey situation shows how well Rockets handled the AJ Griffin fiasco
The 2023-24 Houston Rockets underwent a significant amount of change, as the team parted with Stephen Silas at the end of the prior season. The Rockets sought a defensive-first approach, which was sensical after Houston finished bottom-five in that category in each of Silas’s three seasons in the big chair. The Rockets made a big […]
Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors game preview
Of course Stephen Curry is coming back for this game. Not that it matters, of course. The Houston Rockets have lost multiple games against the Golden State Warriors over the past couple of seasons in which Curry didn’t play. Houston lost earlier this year at Toyota Center. In the one game Curry did play, Reed […]
SB Nation Reacts results: Do you want the Rockets to trade for Giannis?
This week’s Rockets question asked you whether or not you’d want the franchise to trade for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported that the franchise is going to make a run at the two-time MVP. Here’s your answer to the question. The vast majority of you (79 percent) are against the […]
Rockets cruise to their 5th consecutive win, beat Jazz 140-106
Entering the final stretch of the 2025-2026 season, there was never a question whether the Rockets should win against a young, inexperienced, and oft injured Utah Jazz. The question was, can the Rockets get up big and be able to rest their key players in the 4th quarter, rather than let yet another inferior team […]
Rockets take on the Utah Jazz in Toyota Center
Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz April 3, 2026 Location: Toyota Center – Houston, TX TV: Space City Home Network, Radio:KBME Sports Talk 790 / KLTN 102.9 (en español) Online: Rockets App, SCHN+ Time: 7:00pm CST Probable Starting Lineups Rockets: Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun Jazz: Cody Williams, Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, […]
Rockets may be discovering their offensive identity
What good is an advantage if you don’t use it? Being fluid in Sanskrit is only so employable. Spending nine grand on an Alienware Area-51 Ultra 9 RTX gaming computer to play solitaire would be foolish. Having a playmaking center in the NBA is redundant if you’re not going to run a motion offense. Come […]
Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz game preview
Instead of talking solely about tonight’s opponent the Utah Jazz, I’m going to use this opportunity to talk about the teams in the lottery and discuss which team would win if the NBA rigged it and had their way. We’ll go in reverse order of standings from the day this is written (April 2). 13. […]
Blame Cathy Engelbert, don’t blame Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta for Comets rebirth
Tilman Fertitta has undergone a bit of a transformation in terms of his favorability in the public eye. For the first several years of Fertitta’s ownership of the Houston Rockets, he was quite heavily disliked by the Rockets’ fanbase. Understandably, as he struggled with knowing when/how to insert himself at the onset of his ownership […]
