Houston Rockets Lose To Pistons, Dropping Second Straight – Player Grades

After losing one of their most entertaining games of the season, the Houston Rockets were back in action against the Detroit Pistons, Wednesday at the Toyota Center in Houston.

During the first 12 minutes, Rockets fans thought they were in for another embarrassing and disappointing loss. Houston shot 34.5 percent to start the game. If their poor shooting wasn’t enough to begin on a bad note, the Rockets lost their all-star center just minutes after the opening tip.

While Houston trailed by nine at the half, it was JB Bickerstaff’s Hack-A-Drummond strategy that allowed the Rockets to get back into the game early in the third. Although they fought back to overcome adversity, the Rockets still managed to lose their second straight game in a row.
