Houston Rockets REAL OR FAKE? | Kevin Durant Leads NUMBER ONE Offense, Josh Okogie STARTING & More

Houston Rockets surge to a 5-game win streak with the NBA's #1 offense and top-6 defense. Can they sustain this elite performance over 82 games?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost SportsRadio 610’s Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) break down the Rockets' statistical dominance through a "Real or Fake" analysis, examining whether Houston's league-leading offensive rating, 42.7% three-point shooting, and historic offensive rebounding advantage will hold up. The discussion covers Alperen Sengun's evolving role as offensive hub, Tari Eason's shooting surge, and the team's remarkable free throw disparity on both ends. Key debates include Josh Okogie's impact as a starter versus Dorian Finney-Smith's eventual return, plus defensive strategies for containing Victor Wembanyama in the upcoming in-season tournament matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.

Will Okogie's physical defense neutralize Wembanyama? Can Sengun prove he's the best center in Texas? Discover which early-season stats are sustainable and which are fool's gold.
