Also, unlike Game 2, Houston is back to primary iso-ball and less ball movement.

So, wait, I thought that they didn't make any changes for Game 2, so how can that be if they're seemingly reverting to form? ;) ;D

Nah Game 2 was noticeably different. Less iso-ball, more passing and ball movement, lots of good looks. Yet today the Rockets are also missing a ton of open layups.

Well, Houston looked like they could make a run and even rallied to cut the deficit to 7, but then gave up like 5 quick points to end the half lol. Guess they should be fortunate to be within striking distance still, down just 11 with CP3 and Harden both cold so far.

LOL wow. Houston comes out and gives up a 10-0 run in less than 2 minutes.

Curry heating up in the process.

That's game. Golden State 2-1.

Hard to fault any team playing GSW and their band of ring chasers.

And ... that’s game


Cp3 and harden are terrible defenders

Curry and Thompson are doing whatever they want and are shooting open 40 footers or going to the hoop

Harden is a ball stopper of extraordinary proportions.

Notice how GSW takes their layups and do not seem to kick layups out for threes..

Green at the 5 affords GS the luxury to go 4 small for long stretches.
