“Rockets’ Secret Weapon: The Daring Defense That Stunned the Warriors in Game 2”
It wasn’t just a bad jump shooting night for the Warriors, either. That happens to every team now and then in the playoffs and can often be written off as an aberration.
The Warriors shot 39.5% on 3s, even above their regular season average (36.4%). It was their inability to get anything going inside the arc that cost them.
After shooting 54.5% on 2s in Game 1, the Warriors fell off to 43.2% in Game 2. The Rockets stifled the Butler-less Warriors inside the arc, and it came down to Houston’s excellent recovery ability.
