(Reuters) - The Golden State Warriors survived a major injury scare to NBA MVP Stephen Curry but still lost the game as a pumped up Houston Rockets staved off playoff elimination with a 128-115 victory on Monday.
Curry went down in the second quarter of Game Four in the Western Conference Finals, falling hard on his upper back and neck after flipping over the back of Rockets forward Trevor Ariza, silencing a previously raucous Houston home crowd.
