The lifeless Rockets (1-5) remain winless at home after a blowout loss to Portland.

RECAP: Harden tweaks hamstring in latest loss without CP3 Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

In the last game of Chris Paul's suspension, the lack of playmaking was glaring as Houston (1-3) lost 100-89 to Utah. Carmelo Anthony (22 points) had his best game of 2018 and the defensive effort was much improved, but Eric Gordon was woeful from outside (1-of-12 on 3s) and James Harden (29/7) left early with a hamstring injury. Our recap breaks it all down, including a medical update on Harden and why the mounting losses are a concern — even on October 24.
