Jabari Smith Jr. CLUTCH Shots In Final Minutes LIFTS Rockets Over Bulls | JD Davison New SIXTH MAN!?

Houston Rockets edge past Chicago Bulls with Jabari Smith Jr.'s late-game heroics. Is Smith’s breakout fourth quarter the turning point for his shooting woes?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down the Rockets’ 119-113 victory, spotlighting Smith Jr.’s clutch shooting and renewed confidence. Major topics include the potent 74-point output from Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and Amen Thompson, J.D. Davison’s surprising rise as first guard off the bench, and Smith Jr.'s swing factor status in determining team success. Key insights highlight Houston’s persistent offensive stagnation, defensive inconsistencies, and the pressing need for a solution at point guard. The discussion also covers Amen Thompson’s promising free throw shooting, Sengun’s elite playmaking, recent rotation adjustments, and what the upcoming OKC Thunder matchup could mean for Houston’s momentum.

Will the Rockets unlock their offensive identity and maintain top-10 defense with more consistency? Find out what’s next for Houston’s evolving lineup.
