Despite some really good team play in the first quarter, the Rockets had to overcome an early deficit. Houston couldn’t find their shot to start the game, going down 9-3 early. But the team would eventually click and find their stroke from behind the arc. Every single Rocket but P.J.

Rockets’ win over Pistons show a new winning blueprint for Houston
Photo by Gregory Shamus/ No longer a one-man show, the Houston Rockets exhibited hustle and grit in their one-point victory over the Pistons Friday night. Stephen Silas said he was hoping the referees saw what he saw. With 3.4 seconds remaining in the game, Jerami Grant scored a layup over the top of P.J. Tucker. The ball clearly went in as the buzzer sounded, but Tucker made contact with Grant on his way to the basket. If Tucker’s bump came before the buzzer, it would have allowed Grant an opportunity to win the game from the foul line for the Detroit Pistons....

Rockets withstand final review in 103-102 win over Pistons
DETROIT (AP) — Jerami Grant's driving layup on the final play came too late, and the Houston Rockets held on for a 103-102 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.

Replays showed that contact also came after time expired, and after a review, the game ended with the Rockets holding on. Grant scored 21 points for Detroit, which rallied...

New-look Rockets open post-Harden era with 109-105 victory over Spurs
Photo by Ronald Cortes/ No Harden, no problem. So how about them apples? The Houston Rockets opened up the post-James Harden era also playing without John Wall, Eric Gordon, and Danuel House, but they played hard, perhaps harder than they’ve played all year, and used some clutch fourth-quarter play from Christian Wood and Sterling Brown to edge past the San Antonio Spurs 109-105. The Rockets were down five points with three minutes left in what was a very good and fun-to-watch game, but both Wood and Brown hit big shots, while P.J. Tucker and Jae’sean Tate made...

Wood scores 22 to lead Rockets to 132-90 rout of Orlando
HOUSTON (AP) — Christian Wood scored 22 points and tied a career high with 15 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 132-90 rout of the short-handed Orlando Magic on Friday night.
