The Golden State Warriors ran into a little bit of trouble in the first round of the 2019 NBA playoffs — at least more than was expected — but ultimately defeated the Los Angeles Clippers four games to two.
Now, a different, perhaps more daunting challenge awaits them in the second round.
The Houston Rockets entered the postseason as the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and came out on top of their first-round matchup with the Utah Jazz four games to one. They will be on four days rest having finished up their series on Wednesday night.
