The Houston Rockets are making significant strides in the NBA, currently on a nine-game winning streak after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 110-92. This victory places them just 0.5 games behind the Golden State Warriors for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. The Rockets' impressive performance in March, boasting an 11-1 record, the best in the NBA for the month, has positioned them as strong contenders for the playoffs. With a +14.2 net rating in their last eight games, and having improved their record from 25-34 to 36-35, the Rockets are one of the hottest teams in the league. As they prepare to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, a win could extend their streak to ten games and further solidify their playoff aspirations.
