The Houston Rockets beat the Milwaukee Bucks on October 29, 2026, moving to 5-0 for the first time since the 2014-15 season. Fred VanVleet scored 24, Amen Thompson 23 and Kevin Durant 18 in 31 minutes. The discussion credits VanVleet's return with settling the half-court offense and argues that keeping Durant's minutes down is the right trade for the postseason. The final score is now contested: one roundup gives it as 132-110 rather than 132-100, and the discrepancy has not been resolved.
