Game 1
Tonight was about dribble penetration and the Lakers couldn’t stop the Rockets!
Socks & flip flops 36
Eric Gordon 23
Russell Westbrook 24
......these three Rockets combine for 83 points, the Lakers only scored 97
Rockets play “small ball,” yet they end the game tied with the Lamers with 41 rebounds! “Small ball” outscored the Lakers 42-40 in the paint.
Socks & flip flops scored 36 points in 34 minutes tonight!!!
This is the 39th time
Harden has scored more points than minutes played in a game this season, including playoffs.
That is the 2nd-most such games in the shot-clock era, behind Wilt Chamberlain in 1961-62 (45).
Russell Westbrook on Game 1 win: "It's a series. Being ahead is great, but we haven't done nothing yet."

Also Friday night, the Miami Heat went up 3-0 over Milwaukee. There must be something seriously wrong with the Bucks internally because anytime you get outscored 13-40 in the 4th Quarter, you’ve given up!
Bucks led 87-75 at the end of the 3rd Quarter......almost to show they could “compete” if they wanted, but chose to give up. I look for the Bucks to be leaving the bubble later today!
