League Search Page > NBA > Houston Rockets > Roster & Statistics
The 1994–95 Houston Rockets were built around Hakeem Olajuwon’s elite two-way impact, with the star center leading the offense while anchoring the defense. Vernon Maxwell and Clyde Drexler supplied secondary scoring and perimeter playmaking, and Robert Horry contributed across multiple areas as a versatile forward. Houston combined efficient offense, strong rebounding, and balanced ball movement, though their regular-season defense was closer to average than elite.
