Rockets Soar Past Raptors in Dominant Home Display at Toyota Center

The Houston Rockets, with a 23-25 record, delivered an impressive performance against the Toronto Raptors, who now stand at 17-31. The final score read 135-106 in favor of the home team.

In a display of offensive might, the Rockets dominated the court from start to finish. Leading for over 43 minutes of game time and achieving their largest lead of 31 points, they showcased a well-oiled machine that outplayed the Raptors in nearly every aspect. The team's field goal percentage stood at an impressive 59 percent with a particularly remarkable showing inside the paint where they shot an astounding 78 percent.

Houston's bench contributed significantly to this victory by adding a substantial 70 points to the scoreboard. This depth proved too much for Toronto as they struggled to keep pace with Houston's relentless attack. The Rockets also excelled in transition, scoring 22 fast break points and converting on an efficient rate of 73 percent from such opportunities.

Defensively, Houston was just as formidable. They held Toronto to only three leads during the entire game and limited their biggest advantage to just three points early on. With nine steals and three blocks contributing to their defensive efforts, they managed to keep Toronto's offense under control throughout.

The Raptors did have moments where they shined offensively; however, these were few and far between against Houston’s defense which allowed them only a field goal percentage of 44 percent and kept them trailing for most of the contest.
