The Rockets and Pelicans Have Had Very Different Bubble Experiences So Far

With the Rockets shooting threes nonstop and the Pelicans missing Zion, there's a lot to recap with the two teams.

From inside the NBA bubble, SI Senior Writer Chris Mannix breaks down how the primary offensive strategy the Houston Rockets have been using is to rely entirely on the three pointer. The team took 61 3-point shots in their last game, a clear and obvious choice in direction for Harden, Westbrook, and co.

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans have had a tough go of it so far in the NBA Bubble, losing both games so far and making their playoff chances smaller and smaller. Only 3 games out of a playoff spot though and Zion's minute limitations might prove the final straw for the playoff hopefuls.
