NBA Cup action is HERE šØ
The Rockets take on the Spurs tonight, looking for their sixth straight win
Kevin Durantās 14 shot attempts in Houstonās loss to Denver were the fewest heās attempted since Nov. 1, per SIās @JedKatz_
On the season, his 17.1 field-goal attempts per game is the lowest since the 2016-17 season as teams have forced the ball out of his hands
The Rockets were recently granted a $12.5 million Disabled Players Exemption for Fred VanVleet, per @KellyIko
While Houston will now have some extra financial flexibility, it is still hard-capped at the first apron
Amen Thompson travels the 5th most distance per game in the NBA, per @tipoffball
Thompson travels an average of 13,199 feet and 2.5 miles per game
Putting in work all over the court šØ
Ime Udoka said Houstonās loss to Denver was āpoorly officiatedā and full of āinconsistent callsā š¬
āI think it was as poorly officiated a game as Iāve seen in a long timeā¦We were seeing all kinds of inconsistent callsā¦weāre not going to adjust to poor officials.ā
This was the āfoulā on Amen Thompson that led to overtime, where Houston lost to Denver
The Rockets didnāt play well in overtime, but they should have won in regulationā¦
