Rockets’ Mike D’Antoni: ‘Obviously, we’re the underdog’

HOUSTON — The Rockets are the No. 1 seed, but they harbor no delusions about whether they're the favorite against the Warriors in the Western Conference finals. "Obviously, we're the underdog," Houston head coach Mike D'Antoni said Monday night before Game 1 at the Toyota Center. "They've won two of the past three (NBA) Finals that they've been in. When you go against the champ, you've got to knock them out. When you're the underdog, you've got to knock them out. But I do like who we are, what we've done and where we can go." The Rockets led the league in wins, point differential and three-pointers.
