The Houston Rockets evened up the Western Conference Finals at one game apiece after defeating the Warriors 127-105 in Game 2 on Wednesday night. After a back-and-forth first quarter, Houston built a double-digit cushion going into halftime, and didn’t trail at any point in the second half. Kevin Durant was spectacular in defeat, scoring 38 points on 22 shots for his fifth 30-point game of the 2018 postseason. Stephen Curry added 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, but the Rockets’ three-point shooting and balanced scoring attack proved too much to overcome.
