Cousins was sent off in the second quarter of
. There was also an episode. Cousins, who couldn't control his emotions, ate 2 technical offenders in 3 minutes and left work early!
Cousins first caught a technical offense (both technical offenders) in the mutual push with Cauley Stein, then Cousins broke through, thought he had been fouled, shouted at the referee, and was blown up again. Offense, a total of two technical offenders were sent off! Z1z
's cousin after eating the second technical criminal, I can't believe it! You must know that in this game, Cousins scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks in three minutes. He was in a very good state. The departure of his cousin had a great impact on the Rockets' defense and rotation.
Harden feels extremely poor.
The brave beard in the first three games may have been affected by injuries. The feel of this game has fallen to a freezing point.

There are still bright spots in losing, and defense is a big problem.
Although the Rockets lost the game and ended the winning streak, there are still many bright spots in the game! The first is that Wood once again scored 20+ points. He scored 20+ points in the first 5 games he joined the Rockets. Counting last season, Wood has scored 20+ in 10 consecutive games, making him the first non-draft player since Connie Hawkins in 1970.
In addition, rookie Tate is still very energetic and daring to fight. He played 24 minutes, scored 3 of 6 and scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. He also defended Doncic twice. Defense is still a big problem
The Rockets’ biggest problem in this game is not that the outside three-pointer feels bad, but the defensive performance is very bad, especially the anti-Lone Ranger transfer ball. The Rockets' defense in the first 5 games of the season has not been very good. For head coach Silas, this is the first problem that must be solved first!
