• Amen Thompson FEASTS Off Kevin Durant's GRAVITY In Rockets FIFTH STRAIGHT Win Vs Grizzlies

  Amen Thompson FEASTS Off Kevin Durant's GRAVITY In Rockets FIFTH STRAIGHT Win Vs GrizzliesHouston Rockets secure their fifth consecutive victory with a dominant 124-109 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, but Kevin Durant's 5-18 shooting night tells only part of the story. How did KD's gravitational pull unlock the entire offense despite scoring just 11 points?Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down how Durant's mere presence created 4-on-3 opportunities that fueled Amen Thompson's explosive 28-point performance and has elevated the Rockets to the NBA's top-ranked offense. The analysis covers Thompson's career-best stretch, Alperen Sengun's 20-point, 16-rebound double-double, and Josh Okogie's defensive lockdown on Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant. Key discussions include the team's unselfish chemistry with 29 assists, Tari Eason's scorching 55.9% three-point shooting, and why defenses can't afford to double-team either Durant or Sengun without paying the price.Discover how Houston's unconventional lineup construction is rewriting offensive basketball despite lacking traditional floor spacing.#Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant #AmenThompson📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen:Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRocketsLocked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

• Houston Rockets SURVIVE Ugly Battle Against Mavericks | Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun DELIVER Late

  Houston Rockets SURVIVE Ugly Battle Against Mavericks | Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun DELIVER LateHouston Rockets survive their ugliest performance of the season, grinding out a 110-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks despite shooting just 27.6% from three-point range. Can a team's floor still produce wins when everything goes wrong?Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down how the Rockets' core competitive advantages—rebounding dominance, free throw shooting, and interior size—carried them through a game they arguably deserved to lose. The analysis covers Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun's clutch fourth-quarter heroics, Ime Udoka's game-changing third-quarter adjustment with Aaron Holiday, and Amen Thompson's elite cutting ability that has him ranked third in the NBA. Key concerns emerge around the team's zone defense vulnerability and Reed Sheppard's growing pains, while Steven Adams and Clint Capela's physical presence continues punishing opposing centers.Discover why this "ugly win" reveals both the Rockets' championship-caliber foundation and the developmental challenges ahead as they navigate life without Fred VanVleet's steadying influence.#Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant #AlperenSengun #AmenThompson📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen:Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRocketsLocked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

• Rockets DEMOLISH Celtics With RED HOT Offense & ELITE Defense | Can Houston SUSTAIN This Dominance?

  Rockets DEMOLISH Celtics With RED HOT Offense & ELITE Defense | Can Houston SUSTAIN This Dominance?Houston Rockets stun Boston Celtics 128-101 behind the NBA's hottest offense. Can this elite three-point shooting sustain a championship run?Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down how the Rockets have become the league's number one offense, shooting an unsustainable(?) 45% from three-point range while dominating at the free throw line with the NBA's biggest differential. The analysis covers Kevin Durant's hyper-efficient 26 points on just 11 shots, Alperen Sengun's playmaking despite offensive struggles, and the team's improved pick-and-roll execution without Fred VanVleet.Key topics include Amen Thompson's lockdown defense on Jaylen Brown, Ime Udoka's tactical shift away from zone schemes, and Jabari Smith Jr.'s career-best four-block performance that has teammates calling him a future Defensive Player of the Year. The discussion examines how corner threes, free throw advantages, and defensive versatility are separating Houston from last season's squad.Discover why the Rockets' balanced attack and defensive improvements make them legitimate contenders in the Western Conference.#Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen:Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRocketsLocked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
