A drastic turnaround in the Rockets' performance from beyond the arc has coincided with a turnaround in the standings.
One of the key factors in playing successful "Moreyball" as we like to call it, is a potent and intimidating three-point attack that punishes opponents' defense for collapsing hard onto forays into the paint. If the team is knocking down triples with regularity, sending multiple defenders at James Harden or Dwight Howard becomes a "pick your poison" scenario.
Don't double or don't collapse, and the Rockets' two superstars will kill you all night long.
