As the Houston Rockets have started the season on a ridiculously hot offensive streak, their most surprising improvement has been in their shooting from beyond the arc.
Through their first 12 games, the Rockets are first in the NBA in 3-point percentage, currently knocking down 42.6% of their attempts from that range. Yet, against the Orlando Magic, they saw a marked dip in their attempts, and, while their shooting numbers held steady, this could be the first sign that their unsustainable performance is beginning to drift.
On the season, they have averaged just 30 3-point attempts per game (which is the lowest mark in the NBA).
