Spiritual connections could be key in Game 6

This has become a series of the wounded. The Game 6 mood swings could be traced to a moment, a glimpse, even a gesture among injured players. In the end, Saturday night's game will come down to Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant and other mainstays of the Warriors and Houston Rockets. But don't dismiss the influence of Chris Paul, Andre Iguodala and Patrick McCaw. Paul's strained hamstring, ruling out of Game 6, could go down as one of the most unfortunate injuries in NBA playoff history. It's hard to grasp the fact that he won't be out there after contributing so much, physically and spiritually, to the Rockets' cause. But he hasn't entirely gone away.
