As part of a “ClutchFans Live” postgame show, Ben DuBose and Dave Hardisty recap Houston’s 140-127 victory over Utah on Wednesday night. The Rockets are now 2-0 in preseason play.
Topics include an electric Rockets debut for Kevin Durant, who had 20 points (70% FG) on elite efficiency in only 23 minutes. The discussion also hits on Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, and Reed Sheppard, who all showed promising signs — perhaps due in large part to the attention drawn by KD.
Defensively, however, the Rockets gave up 20 made 3-pointers on nearly 45% shooting. Could Houston’s identity be shifting to something more offense focused?
Wednesday’s show breaks it all down. The episode can be viewed in video form on YouTube.
