Newly acquired Rockets guard John Wall, who scored 10 points and 5 assists in the game, said that chemistry played a role in the Rockets’ early season’s dilemma.
Wall said: “It’s difficult when some people don’t want to buy.”
Although the Rockets’ chemistry has always been a problem, Wall did not stop him from establishing a relationship with Harden.
Wall said: “It’s a bit hard, I won’t lie.” “I don’t think it’s the best. That’s all I can say.”
Harden averaged 26 points in 37 minutes of action (10th in the league). His assists per game also reached a league-high 11 points.
Houston (3-6) ranked last in the NBA Western Conference Finals. The Rockets also have 3 wins and 3 losses at home and have already lost two consecutive games.
The Rockets resumed their action against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. The team won 112-102 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
