Given the way they can knock down the open shot, it only takes one run for the Golden State Warriors to completely take over a game. That’s what happened in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets as Golden State went on a 21-4 run before halftime to erase an early double-digit deficit and take the lead in winning 110-106 in the first game of the series.
Game 2 takes place on Thursday night in Oakland with the Rockets looking to split the set before returning home for Game 3. Houston never quit in Game 2 despite the monster punch by the Warriors, but fell just short.
A big problem for the Houston was an injury to Dwight Howard, who only played 27 minutes which allowed Golden State to spread the floor and bomb away. Howard is questionable for tonight, and it would be a blow if he couldn’t play.
