OAKLAND – Breaking down the Golden State Warriors' 104-90 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night that gave them the Western Conference finals win by a 4-1 margin.
What happened: The Warriors reached the NBA Finals, which is something that hasn't been said or written in four decades. That Golden State team was able to finish the job, with Rick Barry & Co. sweeping the Washington Bullets in just their third season in Oakland after moving from San Francisco.
The modern-day version got there by way of a slop-fest against the Houston Rockets that counted as a series-deciding victory nonetheless, as they will now face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals.
