At one point, 25 straight misses from THREE is really unbelievable!!!
Trevor Ariza: 0-of-11 shooting, 0-of-8 from THREE
When the Rockets have missed their last 25 triples. If they make 5, they’re up FIVE!!!
Kevin Durant: “We knew at some point they’d tire out. James dribbled so much each possession, I know at some point he’ll wear down and we were going at him on the defensive side of the ball as well"
Eric Gordon: on Chris Paul's absence: "If he was out there, we would be playing on Thursday."
Mike D'Antoni: “I'm devastated. I'm proud. I don't know what I am.”
Harden - "One half of basketball. ... It's extremely frustrating."
Kevin Durant on whether Rockets are close to catching the Warriors: "Anything could happen over the summer, for both sides."
Ok so let me see if my analytics are right.
Houston shot 44 3’s, made 7 3’s for 21pts, missed 37 3’s for a possible 111pts, but all they needed was 6 TWO point shots to win by one?
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey: "We should have won tonight. I don't have much else to say."
