The Houston Rockets looked lethargic to start against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, with their late arrival after a thrilling win over the Boston Celtics from the night before apparently weighing on them.

24 hours after defeating the reigning NBA Champion Boston Celtics, the Houston Rockets are back in action against the Atlanta Hawks. The Rockets' eastern conference tour has been a success, delivering two victories against the top-ranked Cleveland Cavaliers in addition to beating the Celtics.

Per The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Houston could pursue an asset-related trade by the NBA’s Feb. 6 in-season deadline. They won’t go after De’Aaron Fox.

The Houston Rockets had been linked to Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox for weeks amid heavy trade rumors surrounding the All-Star guard. The noise briefly grew even louder after the Kings officially made Fox available in trade talks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Houston Rockets appear unwilling to trade for Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox, a stance that could haunt them for years to come.

Amen Thompson has become Houston’s most dynamic player, showing his full talents in a career-best night against the Celtics.
