Carlos Delfino Posterized Kevin Durant (Video)
Kevin Durant is usually the one posterizing other NBA players, but on Monday night, during Game 4 of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets, the tables were turned. And if Kevin Durant being posterized wasn’t already surprising enough for you, just wait until you hear who that someone was: None [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 4/29/2013 — Chandler Parsons
Even with Russell Westbrook out of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s line-up, the Houston Rockets still don’t stand much of a chance of coming back from 3-0 down to win their best-of-seven series against the Western Conference’s top-ranked team. But they can at least make things interesting with a few victories, and they got one [...]

I’m Starting to Think These Kiss Cam Fights Might Be Staged (Video)
This kiss cam thing is getting a little out of hand, isn’t it? Sure, it was kind of cute when it first started, and there have been some genuinely amusing kiss cam moments—like when President Obama gave his wife Michelle a big old presidential smooch at the Verizon Center last summer, or when John C. [...]

Houston Rockets Tie NBA Record With 23 Three-Pointers (Video)
The Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors by a score of 140-109 last night. Nearly half of their points (69, to be exact) came from beyond the arc, as the Rockets tied an NBA record by connecting on 23 three-point attempts during the contest. Leading the way was Jeremy Lin, who made a career-high [...]

The Houston Rockets Mascot Got a Little Overzealous with the Old Cake Gag on Tuesday Night (Video)
One of the oldest gags in the sports mascot playbook is the “rag on an opposing fan” bit. It takes many forms, of course, from things as minor as shooting said fan with silly string, to things as severe as ripping the opposing team’s jersey off the guy’s (or gal’s) back. However, one thing is [...]

Dunking Santa Claus Smacks His Beard on the Rim (Video)
Santa Claus had a rough Christmas. It’s bad enough having to jet across the planet in an antiquated sleigh being pulled by reindeer to deliver gifts to children all over the world. On top of that, he had to go to his second job as halftime entertainer for the Chicago Bulls after his long journey, [...]

Tyson Chandler Greets Jeremy Lin With An Elbow During His Return To New York (Video)
Hey, remember “Linsanity?” Well, Tyson Chandler doesn’t. Last night Jeremy Lin made his first return to Madison Square Garden after departing in the offseason for Houston. The fans were classy about it. They gave him a nice ovation when he was introduced before the game, then jeered him the rest of the time. That’s pretty [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 11/28/2012 — Kevin Durant
James Harden returned to Oklahoma City for the first time since being traded to the Houston Rockets prior to the start of the 2012-13 NBA season, and just in case he forgot how great a player Kevin Durant is, his former teammate was kind enough to remind him last night. While Harden was having a [...]

Rockets' Omer Asik Scored On His Own Basket Last Night (Video)
While the boxscore from last night's game between the Houston Rockets and the Toronto Raptors tells us that Omer Asik scored 13 points during his team's 117-101 victory, the truth is he actually recorded 15 points during the contest. Although, I'm sure Asik doesn't mind having those additional two points omitted from his stat line, [...]

Halloween Fail: Fog Machine Turns On During Pistons-Rockets Game (Video)
Halloween and sports have always made a great combination. Fans get to express their loyalties and frustrations through their pumpkin carvings, teams get to spice up their halftime entertainment a little bit, and of course players get a little extra publicity by tweeting pictures of their costumes. It’s all a lot of fun. Of course, [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/31/12 — James Harden
i wanna get back with my ex When James Harden was traded from the powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder to the Houston Rockets over the weekend, many wondered whether he could make the transition from being an all-star caliber sixth-man, to being an all-star caliber lead man. Well, Harden provided an answer to that question during [...]

This Day In Sports History (August 27th) — Steve Francis
It was on this day in 1999 that the Vancouver Grizzlies traded Steve Francis to the Houston Rockets. In exchange for Francis, the Grizzlies received Michael Dickerson, Othella Harrington, Antoine Carr, Brent Price, plus first and second round draft picks. Prior to the draft, Francis publicly let it be known that he was not interested [...]

Gerald Green’s Windmill Alley-Oop Slam Was Ridiculous (Video)
Jeremy Evans was named the 2012 Slam Dunk Champion following a rather uneventful contest at All-Star weekend. If it was up to me, he would be stripped of his title and it would be handed to the New Jersey Nets’ Gerald Green following this insane windmill alley-oop slam during Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets. [...]

Rajon Rondo’s Missed Lay-Up To Seal The Game Was Awfully Embarrassing (Video)
With 20 seconds remaining and the Celtics holding onto a 2-point lead during last night’s game against the Houston Rockets, Rajon Rondo had the ball in his hands with a chance to put his team up by four and seal the victory…. …and he blew it! Thankfully, Boston was able to win the game in [...]

Kevin Love Suspended Two Games For Stomping On Luis Scola’s Head (Video)
Being a hard-nosed player has always been a characteristic of Kevin Love’s game. Being a dirty player hasn’t. That may all change following an incident during Saturday night’s game against the Houston Rockets, as the Timberwolves’ power forward, who usually does his damage above the rim, was inflicting some damage on the Rockets’ Luis Scola [...]
