This was a fun game, except for the ending. The Rockets played some of their best basketball all season, and despite not winning, held a team averaging 109 to 105. That may not seem like much, but it’s a far cry from the 35+ point quarters the Rockets were routinely surrendering not that long ago.
The Rockets might have won this one, but the Warriors experience, and the Rockets inexperience in closing out games really showed at the end. Yes, the Rockets botched their look with the game tied 103. Yes, Steph Curry made a last second fall away to win it for the Warriors.
