Sometimes, it's just chance when a great shooter has a terrible shooting night.
Other times, it is no accident.
In a 126-121 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Houston Rockets, with incredible attention to detail and a little bit of luck, held the greatest shooter in NBA history to 7-of-23 from the field and 2-of-9 from behind the arc.
To compete against the Warriors, you have to play almost perfectly. To beat them, your mental focus must be at its sharpest for 48-plus minutes.
