1974-75 Rockets game 3

Houston           103
Kansas City-Omaha 123


OUCH! Another game where the Rockets shoot well (52.7%) but their opponents shoot even better (60%). Actually, it was even worse than that because the KCO starters sat the entire fourth quarter after building up a 33 point lead on the strength of a sizzling 69% shooting performance through the first three quarters. Tiny Archibald led the way for the Kings with 28 points on 13 of 19 shooting. Sam Lacey (10-11 fgs) and Nate Williams (11-15 fgs) each added 24 points.

Rudy Tomjanovich was awesome again for the Rockets with a game high 29 points (13 of 19 shooting). 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. Calvin Murphy finally had a good game with 18 points (8-15) and 6 assists.
