Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors, Playoffs round 2 game 3. The Rockets could not take advantage on the road. Now is the time to tie the series against the Warriors. Playing on the road was not so bad for the Rockets, they lost the games by a few points. The Warriors did not have the best defense at home but it was enough to win the first two games of this round. On the road the story will be different for the Warriors. The Rockets closed the regular season with an incredible home record.
Houston Rockets: It’s our turn to win.

In the second game they lost by two points more than the previous game 109-115. The best of the first two games was to prove that the Warriors defense continues to suffer to win in the playoffs. Especially with games at home. The reserves were playing well the first games of the series. The Rockets know how to use the power of the bench.

Golden State Warriors: We are not afraid to win on the road.
The Warriors are still looking for another championship, but this year the defense is number 16 of the entire league. In short, one of the worst defenses. The first two games of the series were victories, but they were not solid against the Rockets. The Warriors allowed 100 points in each game at home. But the only good thing is that in the playoffs since the first round the Warriors have not lost games on the road.
On the road the numbers are not bad, but the opponent of the first round was weak. Three victories against the Clippers. The average points on the road is 124.7 per game. 46.67 FG points, 83.9% free throw shots, 12.33 three pointers, 31.33 assists. The defense allows up to 106.7 points in the playoffs with 35.67 FG points, 79.8% free throw shots, 10.33 three pointers, 21.67 assists.
The ATS record is 2-1-0. Against the Clippers they were always favorites by almost 10 points in each game. In the second game they did not complete the spread by -9.0 points. This is the first time they play as underdogs in the playoffs this season. Since May 2018 the Warriors do not lose a game on the road.
