ESPN ‘Detail’ Curse: Steph Curry and the Warriors the Latest Victims of Kobe’s Series

The Houston Rockets have tied the Western Conference Finals to 2-2—and they might have Kobe Bryant to thank for that. The Rockets won 95-92 in Oakland against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, with James Harden and Chris Paul combining for 57 points as the Warriors' record of 16 straight playoffs wins on home court came to an end. Stephen Curry scored 17 of his 28 points in the third quarter as the defending champions opened a 10-point lead but he shot just 1 for 8 in the final quarter, as the Warriors made just three field goals in the period.
