With a tough three-game road trip in the books, the young Houston Rockets begin a stretch of four home games out of their next five, starting with Saturday’s visit from the New York Knicks.
It’s a slightly earlier-than-usual tipoff on Saturday evening at Toyota Center, owing to the New Year’s Eve holiday. As a tradition dating back many years, Houston regularly hosts a New Year’s Eve home game with a 6 p.m. start, which allows fans plenty of time to reach their midnight destinations following the game’s conclusion.
