On November 15th, 2025, the Houston Rockets showcased their offensive prowess once again, shooting an impressive 59.3% and hitting 7 of 13 3-pointers in the second quarter of their 135-112 victory over the Washington Wizards. This latest display of firepower comes on the heels of their road win over the Milwaukee Bucks, where they shot the lights out in the fourth quarter.
The Rockets, led by head coach Ime Udoka, have been one of the top offenses in the NBA this season, averaging a franchise-high 124 points through their first 10 games. The offseason addition of Kevin Durant has bolstered their scoring punch, and the emergence of second-year guard Reed Sheppard has been a pleasant surprise. Sheppard poured in a season-high 21 points off the bench against the Wizards, continuing his recent hot streak.
Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers' dynamic duo of Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe have been making waves in the Western Conference. Avdija, who enjoyed a breakout campaign last year, has continued his strong start, averaging 26.1 points per game, which ranks 14th in the NBA. Sharpe, on the other hand, tallied a season-high 35 points in a narrow 3-point loss to the Orlando Magic, showcasing his scoring versatility.
As the Rockets look to further cement their reputation as one of the league's top offenses, the Trail Blazers will be hoping their dynamic duo can propel them to new heights in the competitive Western Conference standings.
