Rockets Credit Ball Movement: “That’s Rockets Basketball Right There”

 

During their 133-118 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, the Houston Rockets kicked off their three-game road trip.

 

In the United Center, the trio of Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Alperen Sengun scored 85 points. However, the Rockets pointed to their ball movement as the main factor that ended a five-game losing streak.

 

Green emphasized that they “came out with a lot of vigor, sharing the ball and getting everyone engaged.” “Right there is Rockets basketball,”

 

 

In the victory, the Rockets had 28 assists.

 

It was the Rockets’ second-highest assist total after their season-high 34 assists in the 134-127 victory over the Orlando Magic on November 7 at Amway Center.

 

According to coach Stephen Silas, the squad started passing the ball around more Friday night in a defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. Better ball movement would result in better shot-making, which hampered their performance in the previous five games, he said after the sad loss.

 

During their five-game losing streak, the Rockets averaged 22.4 assists while shooting a dismal 27.1 percent from three-point range. However, Houston only managed a 38.6 percent field goal percentage against the Bulls.

 

Porter led the club with nine assists while recording a season-high 36 points on 14 of 22 shooting. He claimed that the Rockets examined a ton of game film over the holiday break and were prepared for the game in Chicago.

 

Porter explained that since he is the point guard, his job is to set up his teammates and direct them to the appropriate areas. We were outstanding regarding our synergy and want to keep doing that. “We had an excellent game sharing the ball.”

 

Although the Rockets have a lot of talent, Porter stated, they perform at their best when every player on the court is touching the ball and participating. Porter’s viewpoint is shared by every player and member of the Rockets’ coaching staff.

 

The Rockets will play the 24-10 Boston Celtics on Tuesday night to start the second of their three games on the road. The start of the game is set for 6:30 PM CT inside TD Garden.
