In the regular season match between the Rockets and the Grizzlies on November 6, 2025, the Rockets played fairly easily in this game. After the difference in the first quarter, they were able to maintain their advantage in the second three quarters, and finally won 124-109.

The three starters all performed very well in this game. Among them, Amen has gone on a rampage in two consecutive games. This time, he scored 28+10+7 on 13 of 26. He can still score three points. This is his third consecutive three-point game. His three-point ability is indeed continuing to grow. Don't forget, Amen's linking ability is also slowly showing, which makes him more comprehensive on the offensive end, and he has completely become the core point.

Smith's efficiency in this game is still very good, which will become his foundation. He scored 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the game. When he maintains stable output, he can increase the lethality of the Rockets' frontline. In addition, Okogie could score three consecutive points in the third quarter. This wave of goals directly stunned the opponent. In addition to being able to score three-pointers, he is still a basic player on the defensive end. He is still a top 3D presence.

In addition, there are two points on the bench that can provide stable output. Sheppard's three-pointer was surprisingly good in this game, and he didn't lose his position defensively. Even defending Morant was not that disadvantageous. He had 12+2 steals in the game, which is gratifying. Ethan was able to maintain a perfect three-point shooting percentage, scoring 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting. Ethan's three-point shooting has completely transformed in these games, which is his biggest improvement this offseason. Of course, among these players, except Okogie, the other four are young players, and the Rockets' overall training is too effective.

However, Durant and Shen Jing are forging iron, and they have unspeakable secrets. Durant's opponent used a double-teaming strategy against him, which ultimately put too much pressure on him on the offensive end. He made 5 of 18 shots in the game. Fortunately, he was able to create scoring space for his teammates. Shen Jing was also helpless, shooting 6 of 14 from the field. He still had too many things to do on the offensive end, which completely hindered his efficiency. But linking up and rebounding are the basics, and not having a serious No. 1 position puts too much pressure on him.
