Houston shot 31.4 percent from 3-point range while Golden State shot 48.1 percent.
The imbalance was evident from the opening tip. Golden State started the game 4-of-8 from deep while Houston went 1-for-6 and Jabari Smith Jr. missed his first four 3-point attempts.
But the Warriors aren’t that much of an outlier when it comes to the Rockets’ skewed 3-point shooting trends this season. In wins this season, Houston is shooting 37.2 percent from deep and holding opponents to 33.5 percent. In losses, Houston is shooting 31.3 percent while opponents shoot 38.1 percent.
“We want to take the right shots,” he said. “Obviously, the shots that you take oftentimes are dictated by your roster composition. So we will continue to look at taking threes, but we want to make sure we're taking good threes.”
