Rockets missing center Clint Capela’s typical production

As much as any development in the Rockets’ fall to an 0-2 deficit in their series against the Warriors, the struggles to keep center Clint Capela involved has become especially significant because of how the Warriors have done it.

The Warriors have limited the Rockets center by removing their own center from the starting lineup.

With Andre Iguodala starting, Draymond Green has moved to center and successfully helped on James Harden while still getting back to cut off lobs to Capela inside.

“They're good at it because Draymond comes, fakes, goes back to Clint,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said.
