Confident Rockets aim to extend win streak vs. visiting Bucks

The Houston Rockets have experienced enough uneven results executing the two-man game between All-Stars Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun that the moments of vulnerability resonate as vividly as those games when that duo appears unstoppable.

Against the New York Knicks on Tuesday in the first game of their penultimate scheduled back-to-back, Durant and Sengun excelled in large part because their teammates made the Knicks pay whenever they attempted any aggressive measure to slow that high-scoring tandem.
