In their win against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors took a whopping 58% of their shots from beyond the arc.
It’s somewhat ironic that the Warriors suddenly turned into a team that espouses the principles of “Moreyball” — named for former Rockets general manager Daryl Morey — against the team that took the concept of “three is greater than two” and dialed it up all the way to the extreme.
But that’s exactly what happened against this iteration of the Rockets — no longer the spread-out heliocentric version built around the individual talents of James Harden, but a younger iteration trying to claw its way back toward NBA relevancy.
