The Warriors escaped Houston with a 1-1 series tie headed back to Oakland for game three on Sunday. Between game one and game two the results couldn’t have been more different as the Rockets adjusted their game plan. The one key constant in both games was Kevin Durant as he poured in 37 points in game one and another 38 points in game two.
With the missed defensive assignments and the numerous turnovers, the Warriors kept digging themselves into a bigger hole. Although it was a poor overall effort by the team, Kevin Durant was forced to play hero ball and get buckets where buckets were scarce.
