biggest discrepancy is shooting from the 3 point line. The Rockets always have 3 three-point shooters on the floor at the same time, and IMO the ONLY way for the Jazz to compete against the Rockets is if they shoot well from the 3-point line. This half, Houston is 13-26 from three, and the Jazz are 4-22. That's a 27 point differential. The difference at halftime is 26.
We lost the first round when Denver threw their game against Portland.
