The Golden State Warriors were unable to take control of their first-round series, losing Game 2 to the Houston Rockets 109-94. Both teams will now head to the Bay Area for Game 3 of the series with things tied up 1-1. But all eyes will be on the status of Warriors star Jimmy Butler after he was sidelined by a scary fall on his tailbone in the first quarter.
The Rockets jumped out to an early first quarter lead. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka wanted his team to amp up the physicality even more after their Game 2 loss, and did exactly that.
