Houston has gone under in FH on the road in I believe 6 straight games. Seattle is a good defensive team at home, producing much lower scoring games there.
The Seattle SuperSonics tonight return home from a disappointing road trip when they host the Houston Rockets.
The (9-7) Sonics got off to a fast start this season winning eight of their first 10, but struggled to a 1-3 record on their recent road trip. Tonight they look to bounce back from an embarassing 117-99 loss to the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. That was Seattle's fourth game in five nights and while coach McMillan refused to use fatigue as an excuse it most definitely was a factor.
The (8-6) Rockets beat Golden State last time out to improve to 1-2 on their road trip. Kelvin Cato played his best game of the season and combined with Steve Francis and the improving Yao Ming they have some impressive offensive weapons.
The Sonics won the first meeting between these teams earlier this season when they beat the Rockets 104-97 at Houston and tonight we expect Seattle to win by 8-10 points.
