A look at Warriors’ to-do list for Game 3 vs. Rockets

The Warriors' biggest opponent this season has been complacency, not any team. The latest reminder came in Golden State's blowout loss Wednesday in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Though the Rockets executed their isolation-heavy offense with precision, the Warriors were far from their best. The feel-good vibes from their Game 1 win had given way to inattention on both sides of the ball because, after stealing home-court, Golden State had already achieved what it eyed when it flew to Houston. The urgency will be heightened for Game 3 on Sunday evening at Oracle Arena. With the series tied at 1-1, the Warriors recognize a basic reality: Lose, and they're forced to play catchup.
