By Forrest Walker | January 25, 2013 at 12:00 am

The Houston Rockets and New Orleans hornets complete their season series on Friday, January 2013, both teams on very different trajectories. The Houston Rockets look to reassert their style and get back to their winning ways after a brutal January slump. The New Orleans have won 7 of their last 10, and are coming together now that Eric Gordon is healthy. In each of the previous three games, the Hornets have given the Rockets a real challenge to the team and to their system. The Rockets need this win to take the season series and avoid falling below .500 for the first time since December 16th.

The 33.7 percent  mark has them tied for 20th in the league in accuracy this month. The problem is, they are also taking a league-leading 30.2 attempts per game this month. In other words, they’re building one of these.

Denver Nuggets 105, Houston Rockets 95 – The Millennium Falcon Crashes and Burns

By Forrest Walker | January 23, 2013 at 10:22 pm

Late in the second quarter, as the Rockets trailed the Nuggets by 8, James Harden streaked down the court on a fast break, nailing an impossible-looking layup and drawing the foul.
