The Houston Rockets are ending the regular season on a high note, and fans are expecting big things from them in the playoffs.
As noted by Hoop Central, the Rockets are 15-2 over their last 17 games, and have just enjoyed back-to-back wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors.
“Houston is clicking at the right time,” Hoop Central wrote, and that is undeniable.

The only losses the Rockets have suffered during these last 17 games have been at the hands of the Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Thankfully for Houston, they might be able to get some revenge soon.
They will battle the Lakers on April 11, and then their last game of the season is versus the Nuggets on April 13.
No matter how it all ends, this season has been very promising for the Rockets.
They are the second seed in the West and have a muscular 52-27 record.
They have earned their spot in the postseason, but there are concerns about how they’ll perform on such a big stage.
As great as they are, the Rockets are a young and unproven squad and the bright lights of the playoffs could be too much for them.
They are hoping to prove otherwise and are ending the regular season looking better than ever.
Like with many young teams, there will be criticisms and worries about what they can do in the playoffs, but the Rockets aren’t listening to them.
Instead, they are simply winning a lot right now and making plans to keep it up, despite the critics.
