Rockets Set to Ignite at Paycom Center Against Thunder

As the Houston Rockets prepare to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center, fans are eager to see if they can carry forward their momentum. The Rockets have had a turbulent season, with a record that reflects their struggles and flashes of potential. With 24 wins and 30 losses, they've shown resilience in recent games.

In their last outing against the Memphis Grizzlies, despite a loss with a score of 113-121, there were positive takeaways. The Rockets demonstrated an ability to score in bursts and put up significant points in the paint (60 points). However, defensive woes continued as they allowed 121 points against them with a defensive rating over 120.

The game before that saw them edge out a victory over the New York Knicks by two points (105-103), showcasing their ability to close out tight games. Their time leading was substantial at over 39 minutes and bench contribution stood out with 20 crucial points.

However, consistency remains an issue for Houston as evidenced by their performance against Atlanta Hawks where they lost by nine points (113-122). Despite scoring well from beyond the arc and inside paint once again, turnovers and defensive lapses proved costly.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption. Fans should look for improvements on defense while maintaining offensive efficiency. Ball movement has been promising with assist-to-turnover ratios above two in recent matches – this will be critical against OKC's defense.

The match is scheduled for February 28th at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City – home turf for Thunder but neutral ground for both teams timezone-wise. Fans can catch all the action live on TNT channel number 245 starting from tip-off time at local venue time zone US/Central.
