Rockets aim to reduce turnovers in Game 3
Soon after the Rockets completed their second rout of the Jazz, Chris Paul said there were ways the Rockets would have to play better and pointed to the 18 turnovers in Game 2.
Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, however, was not concerned with that, believing some of the carelessness in Game 2 came just from playing with a lead that reached 20 in 7 ½ minutes.
"No cause other than being up 20, then you try some stuff," D'Antoni said. "We'll be fine. I'm not worried about that. I'm glad they understand the importance of not turning it over. I appreciate that. But they know that. That won't happen next time."
Still, on Friday, Paul's six turnovers seemed clear in his mind.
