Bellwether Game

After Tuesday's victory over the Trailblazers, I deferred judgement as to whether or not this Rockets team has turned the corner and found their long-lost chemistry. Tonight's game against the Cavs was a bellwether. The Rockets beat (according to the standings) the second best team in the league, and did so in a convincing fashion.

Based on their current six-game winning streak, and considering that it includes victories over three very good teams (Dallas, Portland and Cleveland), I am saying that the chemistry is back! Is it enough to change my prognosis of a couple of weeks ago? Not quite yet, but at least I am becoming more optimistic than pessimistic about the possiblities.
