how in the blue hell did the rockets score 108? that seems like they could barley score 70 on most nights.

also.... how does GS score 107 vs them but we can barely get to 90

the thing about GS is that they have a really fucked up lineup of PGs or SFs...right now they have PGs....so a weird team like Houston ran them I guess? weird stuff...Ariza with 25.

a few reasons. golden state has a lot of guys who like to take early shots, golden state doesn't play any defense, and the rockets had a good shooting game from the outside.

oh and since when was 96 points "barely getting to 90"?

Well, we actually scored 96, so they only scored 11 more points than we did. The fact that we had 26 turnovers and they only had 16 probably accounts for that difference.

I think the first half of your post is more relevant; we held the newly run-n-gun Rockets to 20 fewer points than GS could, giving up only 37% shooting instead of the 46% GS allowed them. Our defense last night was fantastic. Let's hope that continues.
