And Jason Collier was done for the night after a cut opened over his right eye left him woozy and requiring halftime stitches. That made Kenny Thomas and Williams the Rockets' only big man thicker than Bullard, and Tomjanovich's only power forward and center choices in the second half. You'd think one of these days it's going to stop, but it hasn't. We've been doing this all year. We have three of the best drivers in the league.
Teams have to slide a guy over and it makes a lot of situations wide-open.
We're hard to guard. When we make our shots, we can beat anybody. Thomas scored 10 points in the third quarter, twice finishing fast breaks and twice off offensive rebounds. Williams knocked down one jumper to begin the quarter. But he scored the rest of his 10 points in the quarter on cuts and drives to the basket the Warriors could not slow.
