There have been approximately 7,000 total playoff games in NBA, ABA history.

Orlando, Houston, and Atlanta just accounted for three of the top five worst offensive halves in NBA history within a 24-hour time frame.

Pretty mind-boggling.

At one point, Houston had shooting splits in a game six, must-win game six, that looked like...

27, 21, and 60.

They were shooting 27% from the floor, even worse from three, and a hilarious 60%, which looks good to those other numbers from the free throw line.

Reed Shepard missed 15 to 19 shots.

He was one to 10 from deep.

And the three ball obviously disappeared for Houston after pretty good shooting in games, what, four and five, where they hit 26 combined threes.

They made five on Friday night.

And so pair that bad shooting with just sort of being outplayed, like out hustled by the older Lakers.

was a recipe for disaster.

And that's how we got to this brutal, brutal game six flame out here for Houston.

And the Lakers, again, the Rockets shot poorly, but I want to make it clear that the Lakers made that all matter because they took care of the ball in game six.

They limited second chance opportunities because they did a really good job, I thought, of keeping the Rockets off the offensive glass.

They just did all the little things and everybody chipped in.

You're led by LeBron against setting the tone and they ran away with it.

In the end.

So they'll take on the Thunder.

I don't think Luke is coming back, right?
