Despite a late-Monday loss to the Bucks, the Houston Rockets are off to their best start in over four years at 10-5, good for No. 4 in the Western Conference. W

The Houston Rockets look to stay hot as they hit the road for Milwaukee and a Monday night matchup with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

On Saturday, Antetokounmpo was successful in his head-to-head matchup with Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, but the game’s officials incorrectly whistled him for a foul, awarding Ball two free throws when he tripped over his own feet and fell to the floor.

Damian Lillard hit a driving layup with 3.9 seconds left to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 victory over Houston that snapped the Rockets’ five-game winning streak.

The Milwaukee Bucks were bailed out by several plays that went their way and one egregiously missed call down the stretch on Monday, and it was Damian Lillard's layup with 3.9 seconds remaining that gave them a 101-100 skin-of-their-teeth victory over the Houston Rockets.
