As the Houston Rockets have now ascended to a 3-2 record on the shoulders of a magnificent offensive stretch, their 3-point shooting has been the most pleasantly surprising piece of their offensive rejuvenation.
As it stands, the team is first in the NBA in that category, shooting at a remarkable 45.4% from beyond the arc, and their continued ability to shoot well from that area of the court could allow them to win the numbers game against a struggling Mavericks team.
Dallas, who has begun the season with a 2-4 record, are looking for a major win to get themselves back on track in a Western Conference that could rapidly slip away from them.
