The Rockets looked like a full-fledged offensive juggernaut on Wednesday. They went 13-of-30 from three and dropped 131 points. But that’s far from a typical output for this team.
Houston was 12th in the league in points per 100 possessions in the regular season. Prior to Wednesday’s game, the Rockets were 11th in this postseason in three-point percentage.
With the pressure of another elimination game, this time on the road, bearing down on them, the Rockets are likely to naturally cool off a bit.
Add some more inspired defense from the Warriors, who were just humbled by the Game 5 loss, and Friday should go better for them.
