In addition to their slow start, free-throw shooting was a big problem for the Brooklyn Nets in their 108-98 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Specifically, Spencer Dinwiddie had a rough go at the line, finishing 5-for-11 at the charity stripe. He accounted for six of Brooklyn’s eight missed free throw attempts.
Dinwiddie had a forgettable night from long-range, as well. The Brooklyn point guard missed all seven of his attempts from 3-point territory and finished 6-for-20 from the floor in his 17-point performance.
On the other side, James Harden was an unstoppable force for the Rockets. He scored 44 points on 17-for-27 shooting (6-for-10 from 3-point range). Russell Westbrook scored 23 for Houston in the win.
Joe Harris hit his 500th 3-pointer in a Nets uniform in the first quarter. He would only his one more in his 12-point performance.
