The Houston Rockets leapt out to a furious 1-0 Western Conference Semifinals lead over the San Antonio Spurs with a 126-99 victory on Monday. More remarkable than the blowout, though, was how they did it.
As pointed out by Carter Rodriguez of 120 Sports, the Rockets only scored on free throws, three-point shots, and within the key — but none from mid-range.
The Rockets scored every single point last night on either a free throw, a three-pointer or in the paint.

With Houston's record-breaking three-point barrage from Game 1 likely unable to be replicated, expect a much tighter Game 2 as Kawhi Leonard and company look to tie the series Wednesday night in San Antonio.
