What to know: Last night the Rockets went into Atlanta and got a narrow win over the Hawks. This was their fourth straight win, but the wins they have gotten recently are eye-opening!

It’s official, the Houston Rockets are a good basketball team. They have a strong young core and a good head coach, they have come a long way from when they were the 14th seed in the West just two seasons ago with a 22-60 record.

After Ime Udoka’s departure from Boston, people weren’t sure what would happen with him in Houston. The Rockets are 32-14 and are the 2-Seed in the West right now. Their last 4 wins are vs CLE, @ CLE, @ BOS, and now @ ATL. They knocked off the two best teams in the East on back-to-back nights!

How are they doing this? They have a versatile squad with Alperen Sengun down low, who can also run the offense if needed, and then dynamic playmakers around him in Jalen Green, and Amen Thompson. Veteran leadership of Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks rounds out there starting 5.

Just keep an eye out on this Houston team, they might F around and win a playoff series!
