Rockets Crash into the Celtics' Wall: 22-game Winning Streak Comes to an End - Rockets News

In yesterday's battle of the top teams in the East and West, due to an inability to match their opponent's defense, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak came to an end with a crushing 74-94 defeat at the hands of the Celtics, who boast the best record in the league. After the Lakers secured victory yesterday, they are now level on points with the Rockets at 46-21, but remain ranked second in the Western Conference due to a poor head-to-head record. The Rockets will play back-to-back away games against the Hornets today, followed by matchups against the Warriors and the Suns. A single misstep could see them drop out of the top four.
