The Houston Rockets used extreme analytics to hang tough with the Golden State Warriors, and Steve Nash recently explained how impressive that was.
When Kevin Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2016, the entire basketball world knew the rest of the league was in trouble. Coming off a year in which they finished 73-9, it seemed almost unfair that they could still afford to sign a player of Durant’s caliber. Throughout Durant’s time in Golden State, the Houston Rockets emerged as the team to play them tougher than any other.
