## Resource

The Rockets fell to the Lakers in game three of the first round due to some late game blunders that had Logan Murdock, Raja Bell and Howard Beck puzzled. Why has the theme for the Rockets all season been the inability to close out games? Did they miss out on an opportunity to acquire a guard at the deadline to help with these issues? The Celtics defeated the Sixers in a close one in Philly to take the series lead 2-1. Is Jayson Tatum fully back? Has Rudy Gobert gotten the better end of his matchup against Nikola Jokic?
