The Houston Rockets have been one of the NBA’s more surprising teams this season. After their past three games, they shouldn’t shock anyone. The Rockets beat the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers twice last week before traveling to Boston and pulling out a 114-112 victory over the defending champion Celtics on Monday night.

In a 122-100 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, the 7-foot-2 Latvian scored a season-high 34 points and drilled eight three-pointers.

Kristaps Porzingis went crazy in the first half against the Bulls, setting multiple bests during his time with the Celtics.

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis destroyed the Bulls, and Jaylen Brown knows how scary that could be for the rest of the NBA.

Cleveland Cavaliers fans got a sneak peek today at a new, exclusive bobblehead. Donovan "Spida" Mitchell, the Cavs shooting guard, showed off the new collectible created in his honor, as a dunk he scored last season during the playoffs has become a commemorative bobblehead.

Mazzulla says the pressure on the Celtics is coming from comparisons to Cavs and Thunder: "Oh, you're not as good because you're not them."
