After the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets appeared to have exorcised the demons that haunted them through the first four and a half games against the Clippers. However, those demons seemed to have come back to haunt them one more time after tonight’s miserable Game 3 performance at home, their first game at home since Game 7 against LA.
From the get go things looked dire for a Houston team in desperate need of a win. The Rockets only lead came with 9:18 left in the 1st quarter, then Stephen Curry hit his first three of the night and it was all downhill from there, ending in a 115-80 crushing defeat.
