Rockets COLLAPSE AGAIN In OT Vs Warriors | Reed Sheppard SHINES Despite Being DEMOTED Back To Bench

Houston Rockets stumble in overtime against the "Santa Cruz" Warriors despite Reed Sheppard’s explosive 30-point performance off the bench. Is inconsistent late-game execution holding back this young core from reaching its true potential? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost SportsRadio 610’s Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) to discuss Houston’s 115-113 OT loss, spotlighting Sheppard’s impact and questioning why he remains out of the starting lineup. The conversation explores Kevin Durant’s limited crunch-time touches, Alperen Şengün’s recent struggles, and the lack of offensive identity under Ime Udoka. Key topics include defensive breakdowns, problematic substitution patterns, and the Rockets’ inability to close games—now 1-6 in overtime this season. Plus, the hosts debate lineup choices, discuss Jabari Smith Jr.’s rough return, and imagine how players like D’Anthony Melton could transform Houston’s backcourt.
