Houston Rockets improved to 5-0 on the season with a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, signaling their potential as serious contenders in the NBA's reshaped Western Conference.
Fred VanVleet led the way with 24 points, continuing to regain his form after missing the entire previous season due to a torn ACL.
The early-season success suggests the Rockets have quickly adapted to the conference's new competitive landscape.
