The Houston Rockets have started to recapture the attention of Houston sports fandom following Wednesday's 111-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in the opener of a two-game set.
The Rockets are off to their best start since the 2019-20 season, sitting at 8-4 and fifth in the Western Conference.
By carrying over much of the same rotation as last year, the Rockets have built upon their chemistry and have found early-season success.
While starters Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green have provided explosive play on both ends of the court, the Rockets have received a much-needed spark off the bench from Amen Thompson and Tari Eason, who each had 18 points in the win over the Clippers.
Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of "The Matt Thomas Show with Ross" discuss the beginning of a possible resurgence from the Rockets and what needs to be done to further this progress.
