Rockets look to break two-game losing streak in winless white jerseys
The Rockets will look to break a two-game losing streak against the Nuggets while wearing their association jerseys, which they're 0-3 in
Houston Rockets have found themselves struggling in their first two games of the season in winless white jerseys. The team's hot start, which saw them win their first five games and boast a 7-1 record early on, has since turned sour as they have lost back-to-back matches to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns. While there are other factors contributing to this two-game slump, such as the absence of key players Steven Adams and Clint Capela due to injury, some fans and analysts have suggested that the Rockets' recent jersey change may be playing a role in their recent poor performance.
Indeed, the Rockets have posted an impressive 7-0 record in their red Icon and black Statement jerseys, but a disheartening 0-3 record in their white Association jerseys, which they have worn during their last two losses. Although it might be unfair to blame the jerseys for the Rockets' losing streak, this early point of contention among fans seems unlikely to dissipate anytime soon.
With the Rockets once again donning their Association jerseys for a home game against the Denver Nuggets, the team will be hoping to break their two-game losing streak and secure their first victory of the season in white.
