Welcome back to the locked on NBA podcast.

We are your Wednesday host taking you through an interesting night in the NBA, all those stories that we talked about at the top in the intro.

Let's introduce ourselves, I am John Corrales, I'm a beat writer covering the Boston Celtics and the co-host of the lockdown Celtics podcast. You can find me on Twitter, Red's Army underscore John. And I'm Jake Madison, host of the lockdownican's podcast. You can find me on Twitter at Nola Jake.

So, only three games on the slate slow Tuesday. So we take a little bit more time to talk about these games.

A couple here that didn't go.

I not quite the way I thought they would. First let's start with the rockets and the

trailblazers, the Houston Houston Rockets beat Portland 1111.

Jake this was kind of a matchup of the team that wins gets to feel good about

themselves the team that loses gets to feel like oh man are we really as good as we thought we were so

coming out of this do you feel like the rockets can feel good about themselves like

they turn some sort of corner?

Yeah, you know, maybe I think before I want to say that, I need to see it again from them,

but they definitely needed this game.

Nene Daniel House Jr. who they recently signed to be a full-time MBA guy, Gerald Green,

all had big games from them led by Chris Paul.
