NBA shooters miss mark

Shooting was not the order of the night Sunday, as several teams put on poor shooting displays from the floor, Kobe Bryant scored 44 points on a lot of shots and one of the members of what was Miami’s big three had one of his worst shooting nights ever. Here’s a look into a night that was offensive for the wrong reasons. 

• The Houston Rockets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 69-65, becoming the 11th team in the shot-clock era to win a game when scoring fewer than 70 points and the first since theDetroit Pistons on March 13, 2005. The Pistons shot 31.5 percent from the floor that night, missing 50 of their 73 attempts, in a 64-62 win over the Utah Jazz. 

• Both the Rockets and Thunder shot less than 30 percent from the floor Sunday night, with the Rockets going 23-of-80 (28.8 percent) and the Thunder going 20-of-68 (29.4 percent). That’s the fifth time in the shot clock era that both teams have shot less than 30 percent for an entire game. The last time it happened before Sunday was Oct. 29, 2003 when the Nuggets beat the Spurs 80-72 and the teams missed a combined 139 shots. 

• The Nuggets were 1-of-16 from the field in the second quarter of their 109-93 loss to the Knicks. The Knicks outscored the Nuggets in that frame 31-8 as the Nuggets had their worst shooting quarter since going 1-16 against the Spurs in the first quarter of a 99-68 loss on Nov. 27, 2002. The Nuggets set the NBA record for fewest points in the first quarter, which still stands, by scoring only three points. 

• Kobe Bryant had the 121st 40-point game of his career Sunday, but did so shooting 15-of-34 from the field. According to the Elias Sports Bureau research, only Wilt Chamberlain (72) has more games with 40 points when shooting less than 50 percent than Bryant's 51. No other NBA player in NBA history has more than 29 such games. 

• Chris Bosh was 2-of-17 from the floor Sunday night, the second-worst shooting night of his career with a minimum of 15 attempts. Bosh scored with 6:48 to go in the first quarter on a layup, then proceeded to miss his next 10 attempts before connecting on a 3-pointer with 1:45 to play in the third quarter. He missed his final three attempts of the game after that.
