It was laughable watching the Houston Rockets try to play defense against the Golden State Warriors Wednesday in Game 5 of their quick opening-round series, which the Warriors closed out with a 114-81 bombing of one of the most dysfunctional teams in the NBA.
The end result was expected, as the Warriors are coming off a season in which they posted the most wins in league history with 73 and toyed with most of their opponents during the season. What wasn’t expected was the inability of Steph Curry, most likely to win his second consecutive MVP soon, to stay in the lineup due to injury.
