HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Rockets were happy simply to return to the playoffs last season.
A year later and with the addition of Dwight Howard, the Rockets are back in the postseason and looking to make some noise. They play Game 1 of their first-round series against Portland on Sunday night.
Houston’s Chandler Parsons says: ”Just being here is not good enough … we want to win and we want to contend for a championship and we want to be the last team standing.”
The Rockets returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2009 last season and battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the first round before being eliminated by Oklahoma City in Game 6.
Portland returns to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
