The Houston Rockets' poor shooting performance in their recent game, posting a 65.5 offensive rating and making only six of 29 three-point attempts, raises questions about their offensive strategy moving forward. With key players like Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green expected to improve their shooting, it seems the team's strength lies primarily in the paint, where Draymond Green's defensive prowess for the Warriors has been a significant hurdle. Despite their struggles, the Rockets have opportunities to enhance their game through better offensive rebounding and creating turnovers.

Another critical factor is the emergence of playoff Jimmy Butler, who consistently elevates his performance in the postseason, creating a fascinating subplot. The Rockets' ability to capitalize on improved three-point shooting and the performance of Alperen Sengun could be pivotal in closing the gap against the Warriors in future matchups.
