Rockets vs. Pacers game thread

It’s a big night at the Toyota Center. First, the Houston Rockets are bringing back their classic ketchup and mustard championship uniforms from the mid-’90s. It was one of the sharpest looks in sports at the time, which the Rockets inexplicably went away from after their second title. Coincidence that they haven’t won a ring since?

In that spirit, Vernon Maxwell will be taking the first shot tonight.

Second, the Rockets are looking for their sixth win in a row, and they’re matched up against an Indiana Pacers team that comes into tonight on a four-game streak of their own.

On top of that, the Rockets are going to have take on the Pacers with a majorly short-handed roster. Eric Gordon, Danuel House, and Clint Capela are all out tonight, which means the Rockets will have a serious test of their depth. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Chris Clemons will get a shot in the back court, while Tyson Chandler gets the start at center. Mike D’Antoni reportedly will also dust off his front court depth tonight as well.
