The Nets came up short against Indiana on Wednesday, falling 118-108. SF Taurean Waller-Prince had a pretty forgettable game: he finished with only eight points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 27 minutes on the court.
Houston escaped with the win by the margin of a single free throw, 159-158. SG James Harden went supernova for the Rockets as he shot 6 for 14 from beyond the arc and finished with 59 points and nine assists.
Houston's victory lifted them to 3-1 while Brooklyn's defeat dropped them down to 1-3. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Nets rank third in the league when it comes to points per game, with 120 on average. But the Rockets are even better: they enter the match with 128 points per game on average, good for best in the league. We'll see if that edge gives the Rockets a route to victory.
