In games one and two combined, Ryan Anderson shot 0/11 from three. For a player who hit over 40% of his long range attempts in the regular season, that’s pretty terrible. He just couldn’t get anything going. By the second half of game two, he started passing up open threes to drive or dish to someone else. The Houston Rockets won without his effort, but it was much closer than it should’ve been.
Ryno was acutely aware of how poorly he’d performed. Immediately after the game, he went back out onto the court to work on his three ball, just to see some shots go in at the Toyota Center.
