Unfortunately, they didn’t win. It’s surprising because they lost to the Sacramento Kings by double digits, which made the kings look like they are listed as the favorites. That was a bad loss, no other way to say it. The Kings played really well, all their starters finished in double figures. Meanwhile, only three players from the Houston Rockets scored double digits, which tells you the ball movement just wasn’t there.
Anyway, if you are looking for a bit of revenge against the Kings, they’re on a back-to-back and will be facing the Los Angeles Lakers next.
I seriously doubt they can beat the Lakers.
The Kings’ offense was well-balanced yesterday against the Rockets, with DeMar DeRozan leading the charge. The Rockets struggled despite Amen Thompson scoring over 30 points, which ultimately wasn’t enough to beat the Kings.
Tonight, I’ll be backing the Lakers against the Kings, who will be on the second night of a back-to-back. Even though the Lakers are still without Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, I believe they have what it takes to pull this one off.
