After last night’s underwhelming 100-91 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves capped off a 1-3 week, the 13-11 Houston Rockets currently resemble anything but a playoff team. Kevin McHale’s crew sits at third place in the Southwest Division, butting heads with perpetual adversary Memphis for the eighth and final postseason slot, but Clutch City’s finest could [...]

He averages around 15 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals [...]
