Takeaways from the Rockets 101-91 win against the Washington Wizards:
1. By halftime, the Rockets had made 2 of 17 3-pointers. Eric Gordon had made one. Ryan Anderson made one. Time to shoot more 3s. The Rockets not only will not shy away from the 3-point line no matter how they are shooting on a particular night, they will fire away with no loss of confidence. Eventually, they usually find someone ready to get on a roll. They did not have to look too hard on Monday. Eric Gordon, who leads the NBA in 3-pointers this season, made 5 of 8 3s in the second half, enough to get the Rockets offense rolling a bit and help secure the win down the stretch.
