On a night when not a lot went right, the Houston Rockets bench was a bright spot. Only three players came off the bench - Jabari Smith Jr., Steven Adams and Tari Eason - but Smith and Adams played particularly well despite the Rockets' 95-85 loss in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night at Toyota Center.

While Steph Curry was hitting circus shots for the Golden State Warriors Sunday night, Fred VanVleet and the Houston Rockets couldn't seem to get much of anything to go in _ even wide-open looks.
