If the Rockets had hoped the move of Eric Gordon to the starting lineup would get his 3-point shooting going, that did not work out in the first three games with Gordon starting along with James Harden and Chris Paul. The Rockets, however, did win the first three games with the revised lineup, making it certain that they would stick with what has worked.
"It's fine," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We finish games with that this year. Just trying to start it. Whether it remains like that, we'll see. So far, so good. I really don't think it really matters that much.
