Kevin Durant FRUSTRATED As Rockets Offense IMPLODES Vs Blazers, Jabari Smith Jr. STRUGGLES Again

Houston Rockets collapse in the fourth quarter, blowing a 13-point lead to the Portland Trail Blazers as frustration mounts for Kevin Durant and Ime Udoka. Can Houston stop these late-game meltdowns before their playoff hopes slip away?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down the Rockets’ 111-105 loss, spotlighting Jabari Smith Jr.'s shooting struggles, Tari Eason's injury setback, and the offense faltering without Alperen Şengün. Hear candid reactions from Jabari, who admits his slump is costing wins, and Ime Udoka, who challenges the team’s mental toughness and shot selection. The episode examines Udoka's controversial late-game decisions, bench usage, and Houston’s lack of offensive identity without its stars. With Alperen Şengün's status uncertain and critical games ahead, can the Rockets right the ship, or will their late-game woes define the season?
