He's going to get that shot off.

And, you know, that's basically just had a lot of praise for Kevin Durant.

And he's one for 11 from three in this game.

Couldn't buy a triple.

That's actually another story.

Rockets 24% from three on a fairly high volume in the Dallas game.

Do the same again tonight.

But to me, I mean, and Kevin Durant is the story.

No question hitting that shot and just, you know, the vibes and everything in that arena.

You were there.

just, you know, the MVP chance and everything for KD, all deserved.

But it's the second half defensive effort to me that was the difference because the first half, the defensive effort was absolutely awful.

I mean, Phoenix was getting open looks, pulling up from four or five feet behind three-point line, taking advantage of just about every switch or screen, you know, and basically getting off threes and nailing them.

They hit 10 of their first 18 triples into, you know, mid-late second quarter, and then things turned.

Rockets held them from the rest of the game, four of 23 from three, and also been to that defensive effort, which you can see.

I test will show you the defensive effort in the second half was significantly better than the first, but 23 fast break points for the Phoenix Suns in this game.

all in the first half, zero in the second half.

And that was big too.

So they shut down the transition play from Phoenix and they shut down the threes.

And the Rockets offense was not good today.
