Four more playoff series got underway on Sunday, with the top four seeds in the league getting into action. For three of them, they got the expected wins. However, Houston may have a problem.
WARRIORS 95, ROCKETS 85
It was the defining question for Houston going into this series: When the Rockets needed a bucket in the fourth quarter of a tight game, who would they turn to? Could they score in the half-court when it mattered?
After watching Game 1, we still don’t have an answer. While Alperen Sengun scored 26 to lead the Rockets, he’s not the guy who creates his own shot in the half-court like that.
