It it is very uncommon for a road team to get more fouls than the home team especially in the playoffs.
Yet the Rockets attempted 29 FTs and the Lakers 26. And that was with Houston fouling ON PURPOSE in the 4th quarter to stop time. Game 1 was completely lopsided with Rockets shooting TEN more freethrows than the Lakers.
So, in the playoffs, against the Lakers who everybody knows theres a hidden NBA secret agenda bias for, ON THE ROAD, Houston shot 13 more free thows.
BTW, Kobe attempted 7 FTs which is nothing considering he shot 27 times and was driving in the lane all night. The Rockets "Superstar" Carl Landry led everyone with 13 FTAs.

And the Lakers were fouling on purpose in game 1 to stop the clock as well..I understand what you're saying. You're not accounting for fouls not called. Anyway - no big deal. This is THE series of the playoffs now - much to the surprise of most Laker fans, including yourself I bet.
Regarding Carl Landry, the announcers didn't know JACK about him. He's had games like that before, only not on the same stage. He made the team last year with his play above the rim. He hurt his knee and missed many games towards the end of the season. Had to rehab in the offseason - then this year he gets shot in the leg - right when he had almost gotten to the place he was last year. It's no surprise to anyone who knows the Rockets that he did what he did.
