What happened to Trevor Ariza's shooting?
After shooting his mind out and playing great defense last season in Washington, Trevor Ariza signed with the Rockets and was expected to replicate what he did in D.C. He hasn't done that so far. The Rockets only shoot 43.9 percent from the field as a team, 23rd in the league. It doesn't help that the player that's supposed to be their best shooter has struggled immensely. Back in his second stint as a Rocket, Trevor Ariza is putting up 12.5 points per game, which is the third-highest of his career. But he's doing it at an all-time low 37.1 percent shooting. His first stint with the Red...

Rockets quiet the Jazz behind Harden's 30 points
Utah had more turnovers than The Beard had points, and The Beard had plenty of points. With about a minute and a half left in the game, Utah's Jeremy Evans found himself in a 2-on-1 fast break opportunity. As he went up for the powerful slam he misguided the ball and it ricocheted backward off of the top of the rim. Houston was up 77-94 and this was perhaps the perfect metaphor for how the game had gone for the Jazz. An embarrassing missed opportunity. Over four quarters, Houston forced an unbelievable 31 turnovers. Some of that was good defense, (Trevor Ariza had five steals and Dontas...

Trevor Ariza regains his shooting touch
As Trevor Ariza’s shooting slump moved toward record-setting levels, Rockets coach Kevin McHale insisted he was not concerned, citing Ariza’s uncompromised defense and the probability that Ariza would turn things around.
