There is a glass half-full way of looking at the Rockets' latest loss: They did defend...
With the Rockets’ losing streak at 10 games, their second double-digit skid of the season, bright spots might seem difficult to find.
Eventually, the Rockets' defense collapsed again. The Clippers went from scoring 20 points in the second quarter to 40 in the third. The Clippers got on the run with the help of all the defensive rebounds they gathered. Rarely having to slow down to take the ball out of the net helped get them going as much as the Rockets’ familiar defensive shortcomings.
Green had made just 4 of 12 shots through three quarters, missing all five of his 3-pointers. He had come home on a nice hot streak, shooting 42 percent from deep through February. But he made 2 of 10 3s on Sunday and was misfiring again Tuesday. “I didn’t want to go into the game tomorrow just out of rhythm,” Green said. “I just wanted to keep attacking, being aggressive.”
He also has shown signs of expanding his game, not relying as much on his 3-point touch. Teams will continue to make him show he will knock down those shots. His quickness and improved ability to get to the rim will have teams going under screens and backing off, though since the start of February he has made a solid 36.8 percent of his 3s even after going 3 of 16 in the past two games. But Green has shown a willingness to mix in some mid-range jumpers, too.
