    Good job on the offensive rebounding and forcing turnovers, we attacked 2 of the weaknesses of the warriors hard.

    CP3 just clinched his spot on the All-Star team. Don't see how they can leave him off it.

    I stand corrected, Ego and Ryno 0-10 from 3 and we win by 6 going away!?! Anyone who we watched this knows that Tucker deserves the game ball. 7 big rebounds.

    Warriors didnt seem like they cared there, a bit tired from there east coast swing i bet you anything. They had 5 Away games traveling from SF to Canada, and 3 games were tough with rap,cavs, bucks and now rockets, ran out of gas there in end. But 5-1, thats championship caliber road swing. Rox got lucky they ran out of gas.

    This game flowed exactly how it should have in order to prove the Rockets can beat the Warriors down the stretch. If EG had been average instead of terrible or if Nick Young hadn't been on absolute fire, Rockets would have won this fairly comfortably. That wouldn't have been ideal.

    When things went south and the Warriors took a 4-point lead mid 4th quarter, it forced the Rockets to confront opposition and turn things around. This was the test I wanted to see and they passed.

    One troubling thing was how the Warriors turned up the intensity closing the 2nd quarter and the Rockets basically laid down and blew most of the lead.

    Well, don't mind if we do ruin the warriors 14 road game winning streak when we don't even have Ariza, who is probably our best option for defending Durant, with also Gordon going 0-9 from 3.

    No big deal. Easy win.

    Sit harden, Paul and Capela til the playoffs to ensure they will be healthy. Then go undefeated in the playoffs. Sounds like a plan

    Thats just so sexy. His step back on the right wing must have a crazy high percentage, i dont remember the last time he missed one of those

    I was going to say the same. He came up big down the stretch. I hope it isn't a fluke. I'd like to see good PJ Tucker come back. Of course, it seems like he passed his curse to Eric Gordon who was absolutely awful tonight. And while I loved Ryan Anderson's hustle, it's super tough having a guy out there who gets paid 20 million a year to hit shots only take 3 shots the whole damn game because he just keeps passing up open looks.

    Curry was doing the Charlie Brown sad walk after that dagger.
