Warriors eke out 110-106 win over Rockets in Game 1 of West finals (Ball Don’t Lie)
The Golden State Warriors coasted to four double-digit wins over the Houston Rockets to sweep them this regular season. The West's No. 1 seed picked up another victory over Houston in Tuesday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals at Oracle Arena, but it was significantly more difficult than any of those prior matchups. [ Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball] Despite falling behind by 15 points in the second quarter, the Warriors closed the first half on a 25-6 run and controlled the second half as Stephen Curry scored 21 of his game-high 34 points (13-of-22 FG, 6-of-11 3FG) after the break. James Harden kept the Rockets close in the fourth quarter with a masterful showing, but a late comeback fell short as the Warriors took Game 1, 110-106 . Houston will take a lot of positives from this performance, although an injury to star center Dwight Howard's left knee could change the dynamic of this series moving forward.
