After a rather low-scoring game to open their first-round series, the Houston Rockets look to level the score with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night before things head to California.
Though they had to win their way into the playoffs through the Play-In Tournament, the Warriors were able to use their experience and stars to stay ahead of the Rockets on Sunday night. Steph Curry did his thing where he made clutch shots at key points of the game to take the crowd, and the Rockets, out of the game, leading to a 95-85 win for Golden State.
