Phoenix may be running into a mad Houston club tonight. Houston shot 6-38 last night from beyond the arc vs. the Spurs, and despite their worst effort of the season, they still almost beat the Spurs. It should be a different story tonight as the Rockets have made an unbelievable 42% from deep already this season. The bad news for Phoenix is they simply don't play defense, and do a poor job getting out on the three-point shot, and have allowed opponents to shoot 38.7% from long distance. That makes this a horrible matchup for the Suns, and after their poorest showing of the season last night I look for the Rockets to rebound in a big way. Make the play on Houston.
