For the Rockets top two scorers, MVP-candidate James Harden and Sixth Man of the Year-candidate Eric Gordon, it was an uncharacteristically bad shooting night. In fact, for both, in their own regard, it was their worst of the season. For Harden, it was his 3 - point shooting performance that was his worst of the season, as his nine percent (1 - of - 11) mark from long range beat out his previous worst of 2 - of - 11 (18 percent) from deep. Meanwhile, Eric Gordon came off the bench Tuesday to not only shoot a season - worst 4 - of - 15 (26 percent) from the field overall, but also managed to hit just 1 - of - 8 shots from behind the arc - - his worst percentage of the season when making at least one 3 - point attempt. The shooting performances from the backcourt were contagious in the end, as the Rockets finished the game making just six of their 38 attempts from long range.
