P.J. Tucker's hot shooting helps key Rockets' fast start

Rockets forward P.J. Tucker came into the postseason shooting well, but not to any extreme that would indicate the way he would sink 3-pointers in the first two games of the playoffs. Tucker had made 34.8 percent of his 3-pointers in the final 10 games of the regular season, slightly off his 37.7 3-point shooting during the season as a whole when he averaged 7.3 points per game.

In the first two games of the first-round series against the Jazz, however, Tucker has made half of his 14 3-pointers, 9 of 16 shots overall, while averaging 13.5 points.
