Despite a late-Monday loss to the Bucks, the Houston Rockets are off to their best start in over four years at 10-5, good for No. 4 in the Western Conference. W

The Houston Rockets look to stay hot as they hit the road for Milwaukee and a Monday night matchup with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

With the Rockets missing 8 of 9 shots in the final four minutes, and having an inbounds pass at the rim fall just out of center Alperen Şengün’s reach, the Bucks held on to top the Rockets, 101-100, snapping the Rockets’ five-game winning streak, and extending their losing streak in Milwaukee to six games.

Damian Lillard hit a driving layup with 3.9 seconds left to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 victory over Houston that snapped the Rockets’ five-game winning streak.

The Bucks don’t get this win without a big game from Brook Lopez — 27 points and 10 rebounds — while Antetokounmpo scored 20 with 13 rebounds and Lillard had 18 points (but was 0-of-6 from 3). Houston was led by 26 from Fred VanVleet.
