The Houston Rockets faced a tough challenge against the Milwaukee Bucks, aiming for a sixth consecutive win. They started strong but fell behind as the Bucks found their rhythm, led by Brook Lopez and Gary Trent Jr. Fred VanVleet's impressive third-quarter performance kept the Rockets in contention, while Jalen Green shined in the fourth.

Despite their efforts, it was Damian Lillard's last-second heroics that secured a narrow victory for Milwaukee, ending the game at 101-100. The Rockets will seek redemption against the Indiana Pacers next.
