Rockets got advantage out of Oklahoma's problems and catched up to them in the standings, but team is still at the bottom of the Western Conference. It is safe to say that this season is over for the club, so now they just need to try to strengthen the squad in the off-season and to wait for the next season to start.
Houston's performance improved recently, but it counts only for away matches. Team is unsuccessful at home matches, Stephen Silas' men suffered eight consecutive defeats at Toyota Center. Now team is approaching the match against San Antonio and we are expecting an interesting game.
