Ime Udoka on Reed Sheppard: "He was big... Reed really held us together when guys were struggling."

Ime highlighted Reed, Clint Capela (8 offensive boards) and Amen Thompson (14 boards) as especially important in the win.

#Rockets down 12 at halftime, GSW 10-22 in 3s to Rockets 4-19. That's the story.

#Rockets just gotta somehow survive the minutes without Reed

With Kevin Durant still out, the #Rockets will stick with this starting lineup against the Warriors (same as against Suns):
Reed Sheppard
Amen Thompson
Josh Okogie

Fully prepared for the #Rockets to be hit by some outlier Buddy Hield masterclass tonight.

FVV
KD
DFS
Eason
Adams

That's a legit 5 man playoff rotation of guys that are OUT tonight for the #Rockets. I don't like the Rockets chances that beat up vs GSW but hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, chalk it up to a schedule loss and move on. #NBAsky

Shout out to "playmaker Reed Sheppard!" The journey has just begun. #Rockets #NBAsky
November 25, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Not talked about enough here, but Amen Thompson is now shooting 79% on his FTs. For a non shooter that's pretty good improvement. And important as he ups his usage on basket attacks. He shot 68% his rookie year. #Rockets #NBAsky
November 25, 2025 at 5:41 PM
Aaron Holiday has been absolutely massive filling in for the injured Tari Eason. Big credit to the Stay Ready Crew! #Rockets

"Steven Adams is available for Houston" (Olson/X) #Rockets

Jordan Ott described Houston's size as a new level of challenge for what the Suns have overcome this year as a smaller team. Highlighted how athletic the Rockets are on the perimeter, on top of starting two traditional centers in size. This is a big-time possession battle game. (Olson/X) #Rockets

"A reporter asked #Rockets coach Ime Udoka why Kevin Durant is not in Phoenix. Udoka said personal reasons. When the reporter said that leaves it open for people to fill in with whatever reason they want, Udoka responded: "Everyone can fill it in however they want." (Matt Young/X) #NBAsky

Without Kevin Durant, the #Rockets' starting lineup against the Suns will be:
Reed Sheppard
Amen Thompson
Josh Okogie
Jabari Smith Jr.
Alperen Şengün

2-ways Crawford and Davison were at the #Rockets shootaround this morning in PHX.

So apparently Adams is questionable with an ankle. If he ends up being out they probably start Okogie. But then the bench gets super thin with only Holiday, Capela, Jeff?. I think the Vipers play today. So I guess Tate/JD can't be recalled. Might need them vs GSW though. #Rockets
am expecting the #Rockets to start the double big tonight with KD out and Reed in his place. That allows the bench unit to be Holiday, Okogie, Capela.
