Maybe the extra game against The Raptors wore the Spurs out?
Hardin seemed to be playin with the Spurs with high risk behind the back passes, cross court and through the legs passes, but the Spurs were just too slow to make any steals. They were not only physically slow, but their reaction time was off too.
If the Rockets continue to move and react in a dominant manner, it really doesn't matter what the Spurs do.
If I didn't know better, I'd guess Danish Patel had something to do with this...
It's only human nature for there to be ups and downs in a seven games series. The Rockets knew they were being doubted coming into the series so they came out with a chip on their shoulders. Now the Spurs will come out and force the action and the officials will be forced to call it a little tighter next two games, the league never wants a short series with equally matched teams and there's at least 25 50/50 calls in every game that they can use.
Rockets are really the better team from top to bottom especially with their youth but they play a little too loose with the ball at times especially Harden. But one thing is certain, the Rockets shots falling or not as nothing to do with your "Mastermind Pops." It's gonna have more to do with somebody getting off their old butt and helping Kawhi.
