Keys to the Game:
•Contain James Harden
If you want to win this game, you cannot let NBA MVP Candidate James Harden dismantle you early on. Get the big lead, much like you did yesterday in Dallas and keep it.
•Win the 3-Point Battle
Much like the Warriors, this Rockets team can take you right out of the game with their three point shooting. Win the battle from long range.
