DALLAS — As media members walked into the end of a recent Houston Rockets morning shootaround at American Airlines Arena, two players were locked in on a fierce but friendly 3-point competition. The shooting contest featured plenty of trash talk, as every shot that went up had words quickly following the ball towards the basket.
The popular drill was brought to the Rockets by former point guard DJ Augustin, who competed in it with his past teams. The rules state that a player must make three straight shots from one spot to advance.
