Houston Rockets EMBARASSED In Meltdown Vs Pelicans, Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun STRUGGLE To Close

Houston Rockets suffer a humiliating collapse, blowing a 25-point lead and losing in overtime to the lowly New Orleans Pelicans. Is this the wake-up call the team desperately needs to salvage its contender status? Kevin Durant’s efficient scoring goes overlooked as poor shot selection, defensive lapses, and lack of offensive hierarchy dominate the narrative. Why did Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., and even Steven Adams take so many shot attempts, despite KD’s outstanding efficiency?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down the Rockets’ alarming execution issues, questionable lineup decisions by Ime Udoka, and how Reed Sheppard’s absence in crunch time impacted offensive flow. Insights on the team’s defensive effort, missing pieces like Tari Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith, and what needs to change before critical matchups against the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. Can the Houston Rockets regroup and play at the championship level their talent promises—or will their season spiral further?
