Three key takeaways from the Rockets' 113-106 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday night:
1. The Rockets said they missed shots they normally make. They missed so many, that was clearly true. But there is a reason they have made just 26 of 110 3-pointers in their three games against the Warriors and that Golden State leads the NBA in field goal percentage defense and 3-point percentage defense. The Warriors are extremely aggressive on the perimeter, picking up shooters 28 feet from the basket if necessary and switching defensively to keep defenders in position to contest all shots.
