It's like the Warriors watched the Boston Celtics last night and all looked at each other and said "Hey, that seems like a great way to play a game seven...maybe we should do that!"

I think they figured out at the half the refs are allowing total contact off teh ball and on rebounds they're playing much harder in the 3rd.

Man I can't believe it but Nick Young has actually had a positive impact since Klay got his 4th foul

And the patented 3rd quarter explosion hits.

Just a matter of time...

For all those wanting D'Antoni to play his bench more I assume you meant Johnson or Luc, not Ryan Anderson? That guy single handedly lit the torch for Steph in the 3rd quarter. tough matchup of course but I can't believe D'Antoni left him in that long, Curry went off on him.

Wow Gordon got hit by two warriors and nothing.

Slight touch on Durant and he’s shooting freethrows.

Eh Bell was moving so bad on that screen with his back to Harden. That’s when he got going.

That Curry v. Random no name bench guy match up didn't work out so well for Rockets in the 3rd.. DA way too slow to adjust.

Houston has got to be the dumbest team I've ever seen. 3s are not falling drive to the basket and create not just stand outside and take more. Smh.

Choke City

The Rockets can’t shoot worth a crap.

That was 3 points, he had I think 11 against Anderson before they pulled him out

25 straight misses from 3, many of them wide open. Just crazy

Let’s call a spade a spade: a team coached by D’Antoni whose “superstar” player is James Harden was never going to play for an NBA championship.

Curry drives gets hit makes the shot no call. Other end Harden pushes off Curry with right hand drives in scores with no contact from Draymond, foul on Draymond. It goes both ways

Last night, now tonight... Brick city from three... If only there was a type of player, maybe a big player, who you could throw the ball to get an easy 2...

Nah, the big man is dead fan says keep jacking it up, the math says you should!

Exactly! These conference finals are showing the big man and post game is not dead.

Harden is being a little mitch though. He keeps deferring.

Didn’t someone here say the Rockets wouldn’t miss Chris Paul after Game 5?

Good call.

Tucker breaks the 3 point streak finally. That was amazing
