The Warriors are the best shooting team in basketball. They have three of the best shooters in the NBA right now. But over the past three games, they have struggled mightily in the shooting department.

Against the Rockets, none of their starters managed to hit a three which has happened for the first time in a game since 2013. Part of their shooting struggles can be attributed to Klay and Durant just missing shots that they normally would make.

Some part can also be attributed to the ball movement. There have been too many isolation plays and the ball has stuck to the hands of players rather than the ball movements that the Warriors are so accustomed to. They are not looking to take the best shots, instead, their best players are trying to take most of the shots.

But it won't take long when these players start making these shots and thus restore the Warriors' advantage over the other teams.
