The matchup fans, teams and the media want to see is finally upon us.
In the Western Conference Finals, the second-seeded Golden State Warriors will meet the top-seeded Houston Rockets.
The Warriors coasted through the regular season with 58 wins, while the Rockets dominated the West with 65 wins on the backs of future Hall-of-Famers James Harden and Chris Paul. The Warriors faced the Rockets three times during the regular season, only going 1-2.
However, there was an important piece to the puzzle that was missing for the Warriors.
Andre Iguodala did not play in two of those three games.
