Rockets DESTROY Hawks As Reed Sheppard FINALLY Starts & Kevin Durant Handles Double-Teams PERFECTLY Houston Rockets dismantle the Atlanta Hawks, snapping their 11-game win streak in Reed Sheppard’s first start with a fully healthy team. Does this new lineup unlock the Rockets’ postseason potential? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) spotlights Ime Udoka’s strong coaching moves, with Reed Sheppard’s floor spacing and creation reshaping the offense and boosting defensive intensity. Key takeaways include Kevin Durant’s flawless handling of double-teams, Jabari Smith Jr.’s role as the swing factor, and Alperen Şengün’s near triple-double as the passing hub. The bench gets its spark back with Tari Eason striking from deep and Josh Okogie causing havoc. Discussion covers rotation depth, offensive efficiency, and the psychological lift of beating the NBA’s hottest team.
