1974-75 Rockets game 2

Posted out of order, but...

Rockets   119
Bullets   131




You don't usually see a team shoot 54.5% and lose, but the Bullets shot 
an even better 58.6% and had 10 more free throw attempts. Rudy Tomjanovich
 had another brilliant game hitting 19 of 24 shots for a game high 38 points. 
Ed Ratleff hit 7 of 8h shots to chip in 18 points. The Bullets had four starters
score at least 20 points. Mike Riordan and Kevin Porter led the hometown team
with 25 a piece. Calvin Murphy had 
another rough game hitting just 6 of 22 shots.
