Sunburnt: Rockets Smothered by Heat in Miami, 113-91
Back to Normal. Florida Blues. 14 To Go.
Well that didn’t last long. Houston’s winning streak ended at one game as the Rockets got squashed by the Heat, 113-91, on Wednesday night.
Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood led the Rockets with 18 points apiece. Houston managed to hold a one-point halftime edge, but a third quarter burst by Miami put any hopes of a Rockets victory to bed.
Only 14 games remain in the season, as Houston continues to play will they win or will they tank? Up next, two of the best in the West: the Jazz and the Clippers. A victory would be nice, but with the worst record in the league, Houston now has a chance at landing one of the top picks in this year’s draft. Winning hurts their chances, but I’ve never been a fan of tanking. Hopefully the squad plays hard until the wheels on this season finally fall off.
