NBA: 2024-2025 Season

[JohnBM01]

The Houston Texans failed on Halloween, but the Houston Rockets WON! 108-102 was the final as the Rockets won at the defending Western Conference Champion Dallas Mavericks to finally get above .500 on the 2024-2025 season. The Houston Rockets improve to 3-2 on the season with this victory.

The Houston Rockets hosted the Golden State Warriors last night. Down by as many as 31 points, the Rockets came storming back in the 2nd Half thanks to a strong 3rd Quarter. This wild game even went into Overtime. The Rockets were winded after so much drama, that they fell to 3-3 on the season with a 127-121 loss in Overtime. Even thought the Rockets lost, this was an incredible effort to try to win. Had the Rockets won, it would have been their largest margin overcome (current record by the Rockets is back from 25 to win). Great shame to lose, but it was an incredible effort.

Rockets host the Knicks next, tomorrow night. A battle of two hungry, up-and-coming teams.

Young hungry team vs. young hungry team tonight in Houston. It was the Houston Rockets who prevailed 109-97 over the visiting New York Knicks. This is a very nice win because the Knicks are an up-and-coming team in the NBA, just like the Rockets. It was the boys in red who prevailed on this night, though. Houston improves to 4-3 while New York falls to 3-3.

Houston's defense is tough. They had a good game and I think by the 4th quarter the Knicks were worn down. Houston's bench outscored the Knicks bench 30-3. A couple of starters played 40+ minutes. Thibs has got to trust his bench more or they not going to make it through the season. Good win by Houston congrats @JohnBM01 !

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers got suspended three games without pay for shoving a columnist. There was already an investigation on the handling of injury news regarding Joel Embiid. Now things get worse for the boys from Philly.

Only two teams are perfect so far through this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 8-0 on the season, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are 7-0 so far. There are no games on tonight on Election Day. Next up for Cleveland: at the New Orleans Pelicans tomorrow night. Next up for Oklahoma City: at the Denver Nuggets.

Finally, have you noticed the Los Angeles Clippers changed their logo? The new Clippers logo features a clipper ship (which is what the Clippers namesake comes from) with some sort of crosshair design.
