It’s never over, until it’s over!

Despite their early struggles in the first 12 minutes, The Houston Rockets are now on a two game winning streak after they defeated the Phoenix Suns, Thursday, in the Valley.

In a game against the second worst team in the Western Conference, the Rockets took their opponents for granted during the first quarter. Their sluggish start forced J.B. Bickerstaff to pull all five of his starters out midway through the first, as Houston fell behind by 15 points. On a night were James Harden and Dwight Howard struggled offensively, Corey Brewer and Trevor Ariza took over as the Rockets all-star duo.
