Under head coach Ime Udoka, the Houston Rockets built their identity on grit and defense. However, this season, that formula has flipped.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not get in on the NFL trade deadline action. The team still looks like Super Bowl contenders, but they have fewer wins this season than fans have become accustomed to.
