But in Game 7, Houston missed every type of 3. Surely, over the course of the season, the rims at the Toyota Center had come to trust the Rockets, who had so frequently thrown the ball right into the net instead of smashing the metal ring. Here is a compilation of all of the Rockets 27 straight missed threes. The Rockets eventually lost 101-92 to a Warriors team that didn’t suddenly forget how to shoot. Houston’s 11-point halftime lead vanished as the team went 0-for-14 from 3 in the third quarter. Monday night, the Houston Rockets missed 27 3-pointers in a row in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals. I’ll never forget the sheer frustration of a seemingly simple task suddenly becoming impossible, and I’ll never forget the number of consecutive shots I missed: 14. They began heckling the hell out of every miss, hooting and hollering louder with each one.Īll in all, this probably took no more than three minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. A minor nuisance, until they saw how frustrated I was getting at my inability to hit one last shot and realized leaving was less important than witnessing my brickfest. Usually this takes no more than four or five shots, but soon, I was officially holding my friends up from leaving. In college, a few friends and I went to play pickup, and as we were leaving, I did what I always do-tried to make one last 3 before going home.
