The Houston Rockets have fired Kevin McHale, the team confirmed Wednesday. Assistant J.B. Bickerstaff will serve as interim coach.
Sputtering Rockets
The Rockets have struggled on both sides of the ball to start the season after ranking in the top 12 in both offensive and defensive efficiency last season.

"The team was not responding to Kevin," general manager Daryl Morey said. "There is no time in the West."
The Rockets are 4-7 this season, including a current four-game losing streak that prompted a players-only meeting at the Toyota Center on Tuesday morning. The Rockets have failed to reach 100 points during their losing streak -- the team's longest since 2013 -- and are averaging 20 fewer points in their losses overall this season.
"We were starting to address some of the issues that were the reason I was let go," McHale told the Houston Chronicle after news broke of his firing. "We just weren't playing with any juice, with any rhythm. We haven't been able to get the problems solved. We probably had more meetings in last six weeks than in my previous four years here.
"It wasn't working."

A sitdown with Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, GM Daryl Morey
Leslie Alexander and Daryl Morey took questions from ESPN.com after the firing of coach Kevin McHale.
Doolittle: Could Thibodeau save the Rockets?
The Rockets are struggling with effort and defense. Bradford Doolittle writes that Tom Thibodeau excels at extracting both from his players.
Pelton: Will firing McHale solve the problem in Houston?
History suggests that even if the Rockets improve after firing Kevin McHale, the midseason coaching change won't be the reason.
McHale, in his fifth season with the team, was in the first year of a three-year extension worth more than $12 million that he signed last December. He was coming off an 56-26 season where the Rockets reached the Western Conference finals for the first time since 1997. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last returning NBA head coach to lead his team to the conference finals and then not make it through the following season was Stan Van Gundy of the Heat. Van Gundy resigned 21 games into the 2005-06 season, and then Pat Riley took over and led that team to a championship.
McHale was hired by the Rockets before the 2011-12 season. He was 193-130 overall with the team, including three straight trips to the playoffs. The Rockets had improved every season under his tenure going into this season.
