The Rockets cut Washington's 16-point deficit, and went on a 12-0 run late in the fourth...
WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 09: A fan wears bunny ears on Easter during the first half of the game between the Washington Wizards and the Houston Rockets at Capital One Arena on April 9, 2023 in Washington, DC.WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Rockets season might not have been about the pursuit of wins, and for much of the way, the wins they did get were lonely, isolated from one another.
The win on Sunday did not damage the Rockets' lottery chances to stay within the top four picks of the draft. That had been set before they began a finishing kick of wins in four of five games. By the season finale matinee against the Wizards’ “who he play for’ lineup, they showed little interest in more than good attendance for much of the first half.
In the fourth quarter, however, they tore through a 17-2 run, building an eight-point lead for the win.
