Kevin Durant's first season with the Houston Rockets ended in disappointment as the team was eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. The Rockets lost Game 6 98-78, with Durant unable to play due to a sprained left ankle. The team's young core, including Alperen Şengün and Jabari Smith Jr., showed growth, but coach Ime Udoka acknowledged that change is necessary going forward. The Rockets' offense struggled, particularly in losses, shooting 38.6% from the field in four defeats. The team's playoff exit marks the second consecutive season they have been eliminated in the first round. The Rockets will need to address their needs, including a lack of shooting, in the off-season.
