What you're saying doesn't make any sense so trying to explain it may be difficult.
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.
