The 2009–10 Houston Rockets were led by Aaron Brooks, whose scoring and playmaking drove the offense, while Luis Scola provided dependable interior scoring and rebounding. Kevin Martin added efficient perimeter scoring after joining the rotation, and Shane Battier contributed defensive versatility and floor spacing. The statistics reflect a balanced team that relied on guard play, consistent ball movement, and complementary scoring rather than a dominant inside presence.
