Tucker was immense in the win that the Rockets secured in Game 2 by going off for a playoff career-high 22 points. Like Ariza, however, he was found to be too passive in their offense this time around. As a role player, Tucker knows that he has to do extra work in order to do any damage on the offensive end. But unlike Game 2, when he was a safe bet to win every 50-50 ball or run out in transition, Tucker wasn't fully locked-in.

While he shot 2-of-3 from downtown, a great corner 3-point shooter like him should be looking to manufacture more looks every game. Tucker was also below-par defensively tonight, while he turned the ball over twice as well.

Tucker needs to dial in and make things tough for the Warriors with his much-vaunted hustle plays more often.
