Motivation – After last night’s crucial win over the Jazz, Chandler Parsons revealed that McHale spelled out for the team why the game was a must-win.
“Coach went over the mathematics and the importance of this game before we went out there, and we understood the tiebreaker. We understood what’s at stake with the seeding, so this was a huge game for us going forward,” Parsons said.
After the failure against Golden State on Sunday, it was good to see the team make love to pressure last night.
Days of Future Paul – When asked about Houston’s possible interest in him as a free agent next year, Paul Millsap claimed ignorance, via the Chronicle:
Told his is a name often listed among the Rockets’ options, Millsap declined to consider that possibility during the season.
“I didn’t know that,” he said. “My main thing is to win games. I don’t get caught up into all that. … You have to play where you are. That’s how I look at it.”
Houston Rockets 100, Utah jazz 93 – Hot Starts are Helpful
The Houston Rockets flipped the script of their last few games, deciding to come out strong and surge to an early lead. Houston pushed the deficit to 22 points in the second quarter and held it steady through most of the game. Racking up a sizable lead turned out to be a solid strategy for the Rockets, as it allowed them to weather a storm of Jazz scoring in the fourth quarter. It may not have ended as the blowout the Rockets were aiming for, but Houston came away with a much needed win on the back of a solid outing from their starting backcourt.
