This is a surprise to report this morning. The Rockets won a big game against the Toronto Raptors using a huge effort on the part of Shane Battier and Trevor Ariza to win 124-112. Battier scored 26 points and Ariza got 18, and the team as a whole got 13 3’s during the game. This was a tough game and it will be very interesting to see whether they will be able to keep this kind of effort going into the future. With the Rockets on the ropes already in this new season, it’s good to see that their new coach has been able to steady his crew and push them forwards to achieve something. Playing this way against the Raptors is one thing, but can they do it against their tough foes in the Western Conference?
