Since Tuesday, Oct. 3, the Houston Rockets have held their training camp at McNeese State University’s Legacy Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Friday, however, was the last of four practice days at McNeese State. The Rockets headed back to Houston later in the day. Up next, they have Sunday’s open practice with fans and Tuesday’s preseason opener at Toyota Center versus the Indiana Pacers.

“It went well,” Udoka said. “The effort was great, the focus was great. I’ve never really gone away for training camp, so I think it’s a good thing to get guys locked in and focused for four days. It’s been nice to get away. Then we’ll go back (to Houston) and prepare for games.”

Cam Whitmore has also looked fantastic.
Offensive putback dunk, a corner three, a middie pull-up, and blocked Alperen Sengun on a post-up.

After every huddle, Coach Udoka chooses a player to break.

Not allowed to record video right now. But “Pourin’ Up” by Pimp C is currently playing at Rockets practice. Last day of training camp. The chemistry is building and the vibes are immaculate. pic.twitter.com/PGNLf2ZkOp
