Perhaps inspired by Golden State’s litany of sharpshooters and after 39 misses, Howard took the wide-open shot nailing three of his 11 points of the game.
In addition to the shocking 3-pointer, Howard, a 57.6 career free-throw shooter, amazed the crowd by knocking down all seven of his foul shots.
Houston downed Golden State, 105-83, in Space City and has won six of seven and 21 of the last 28 meetings between the teams. The Rockets are 10-4 in their last 14 trips to Oakland.
