    Ime Udoka talked about Jeff Green's impact, Jabari Smith Jr's "beautiful game", the Amen Thompson-Cam Whitmore chemistry and the adjustments the Milwaukee Bucks made defending Alperen Sengun.

    Never would've thought they'd win this game. Great win on the back end of the back-to-back against a really good team.

    Ime is the only Rockets' coach who's postgame remarks are almost a required listen.

    Cam got his minutes tonight.

    What Udoka did against the Bucks was limit Tate to 19 mins and lean on Jabari (40 mins) and Uncle Jeff (34 mins).

    I sure hope Tari is back on Monday.

    I felt the same way. I did not give them much of a chance to win this one, but I had the same feeling when they went to New Orleans. Rockets have won some big games this year.

    We won the free throw battle. We lost so many games the last few years due to FTs. Which was fine, at the time.

    Cam is just incredible and joining in at the perfect time. We need his simple shoot or drive game, we need those points.

    I really want to see Amen push in transition more.

    One of the most encouraging games so far. I enjoyed it to the bone, despite classic Antetete offensive foul recital.

    Clutch didn’t include this bit in his summary, but it is IMHO an important development concerning our best player.

    You know, the guy on the top of the scouting report.

    Way to respond after that embarrassing beat down at the hands of the wolves
    Way to show character in a win against a pretender, I mean contender.
