Rockets to continue launching treys against Thunder

The Houston Rockets didn't see a 3-pointer they didn't like in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Rockets launched 52 shots from behind the arc in their 123-108 win Tuesday near Orlando, and aren't exactly looking to change it up much going into Thursday's Game 2.

"I really feel like when we're on, when we're right, when we're rolling, we shouldn't take bad shots," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "There should only be good shots. That's the way we have to play."

Houston's small-lineup, shoot-it-from-anywhere approach worked in the opener even without Russell Westbrook in the lineup.
