Rockets go ice cold, lose to Thunder 98-80
Rob Ferguson-USA TODAY SportsThe Houston Rockets showcased their worst offensive performance in the young season with a 98-80 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road Thursday night.
Houston shot just 37.8 percent from the floor and struggled all night long. The team’s three leading scorers, James Harden, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony, combined for just 31 points on 12-41 shooting.
In particular, Melo had his worst game in Rockets red, scoring just two points on 1-11 shooting, and the two points came on a goaltend, so Melo did not make a single shot in the entire ballgame. He’d been hot over the last six games, averaging over 17 points per game, but tonight was a really bad outlier.
