The [[Houston Rockets]] are an [[Major North American professional sports teams|American professional]] [[basketball]] team based in [[Houston]], [[Texas]]. The Rockets play in the [[Southwest Division (NBA)|Southwest Division]] of the [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] in the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA). The team was established in 1967, and played in [[San Diego]], [[California]] for four years, before moving to Houston, Texas.<ref name="chronhistory">{{cite news|url=http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/first100/1050922.html|title=Owners, fans waited years before Rockets took off|date=September 20, 2001|work=Houston Chronicle|access-date=May 13, 2008|archive-date=May 4, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100504171038/http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/first100/1050922.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the Rockets' debut season, their win–loss record was 15–67. After drafting [[Elvin Hayes]] [[List of first overall NBA draft picks|first overall]] in the [[1968 NBA draft]], they made their first appearance in the [[NBA Playoffs|playoffs]] in 1969. After Hayes was traded, [[Moses Malone]] replaced him. Malone won two [[NBA Most Valuable Player Award|Most Valuable Player]] awards during his time in Houston, and led the Rockets to the {{nbay|1976|end}} [[NBA Conference finals|Eastern Conference finals]] in his first year with the Rockets. He also led the Rockets to the [[NBA Finals]] in [[1981 NBA Finals|1981]], but they were defeated in six games by the [[Boston Celtics]]. Two years after advancing to the finals, the Rockets won a franchise-low 14 games.<ref name="houstonindex">{{cite web|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/|title=Houston Rockets|work=basketball-reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|access-date=May 14, 2008|archive-date=June 26, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040626085012/https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In [[1984 NBA Draft|1984]], the Rockets drafted future [[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame|Hall-of-Famer]] [[Hakeem Olajuwon]], who led them to the [[1986 NBA Finals|1986 Finals]] in his second year, in which they lost again to Boston. In the next seven seasons, they lost in the first round of the playoffs four times. They did not win their first championship until {{nbay|1993|end}}, when Olajuwon led them to a franchise-best 58 wins, and the [[1994 NBA Finals|championship]]. The Rockets repeated the feat in {{nbay|1994|end}}, but have not advanced to the finals since. They missed the playoffs from {{nbay|1998|end}} to {{nbay|2002|end}}, and did not reach the playoffs until after they [[2003 NBA Draft|drafted]] [[Yao Ming]] in 2003. They did not advance past the first round of the playoffs for 13 years, until the [[2008–09 NBA season]]. After the arrival of [[James Harden]] in 2012 and [[Dwight Howard]] the following year, the Rockets had their best seasons since the Olajuwon days, culminating in the Southwest Division title and a return to the Western Conference finals in {{nbay|2014|end}}. The 2017–18 Rockets made franchise history by becoming the first Houston team ever to win 60 or more games in a regular season, finishing at 65–17.

The Rockets have played 54 seasons, and advanced to the playoffs in 34 of those seasons. They also have regular season records of .500 or better in 38 of their 54 seasons, placing them well into the upper third of NBA franchises in overall win–loss records. They have won eight division titles, and have been conference champions four times. Their overall record is 2,444 wins and 2,328 losses.<ref>{{cite web| title = Team Index| work = basketball-reference.com| publisher = Sports Reference LLC| url = https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/| access-date = October 3, 2016| archive-date = May 1, 2012| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120501192747/http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/| url-status = live}}</ref>
