Until I see this team be able to lock in on defense and shut down another team for five minutes, and it's not just relying on guys missing shots they should be making, until I see that level of intensity, this team, I'm not going to be sold on this team, because I think once it comes to the playoffs, other teams will be able to do that, and we just won't.

So, yeah, it's...

Definitely a better match, all in all.

Definitely a better matchup than the Spurs.

But even if we win, we're not going to change much for what the season is and will be.

All right.

Can you guys hear me?

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Welcome in, everybody.

It's a tough game.

Rockets fall in a Saturday afternoon special on Amazon Prime TV.

Rockets fall 115 to 105 in Miami in a game that was pretty physical.

And the Rockets, for the most part, got bullied today.

Kevin Durant was certainly his special self.

He put up 32 points, was efficient shooting from the field.

KD did certainly his part.

There's lots to talk about.

Reece Shepard closed the game.

There's none of that talk about him not playing at the end.
