Preview du match Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets
The warriors still prove their experience
The Rockets lacked a big opportunity to take the advantage in the series in match 3. The Warriors were deprived of their second best scorer and defender, Jimmy Butler. However, Houston had a new complicated evening in attack, not exceeding 100 points.
Houston had started well, leading 22-18 at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors have reduced the three-point gap in the half-time buzzer. The Rockets still kept their lead to start the fourth quarter with two points ahead.
But then the Warriors took advantage of the energy of their audience to overthrow the situation. A fourth quarter won 35-22 sealed the victory. Stephen Curry was phenomenal with 36 points, including five three -point shots. It was unstoppable, whether on dribbling or in reception-air.
The rest of the holders had difficulties in shooting (10 out of 34), but the bench responded. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield combined 33 points. Thanks to them, the Warriors bench dominated that of the Rockets 43 to 28.
Even if Draymond Green experienced a difficult evening for shooting (3 out of 11), he was a real poison defensively. He greatly contributed to limiting Jalen Green (4 out of 11) and Alperen Sengun (7 out of 18) in attack.
