- For Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, it was a case of "back to square one" after reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry returned from an ankle injury on Sunday only to suffer a fluke knee strain. Curry ended up playing just 18 minutes in the first half of Game Four between the Warriors and Rockets in Houston before he slipped on a wet spot and limped off to the locker room. The Warriors guard tested his knee on court during halftime but, on the advice of team doctors and Kerr, he did not return to the game as Golden State completed a 121-94 rout of Houston to lead the best-of-seven series 3-1.
