The Houston Rockets took a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference Finals with a 98-94 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 Thursday night.
The game was highlighted by the defense of the Rockets as they controlled the tempo for majority of the game. Even with the Rockets shooting 37 percent from the field, the team was able to secure the victory.
The team was led by Eric Gordon, who scored a team-high 24 points off the bench on 6-15 shooting. Clint Capela also had his best game of the series on both ends of the floor with 12 points, 14 rebounds, and two momentum-shifting blocks, one on Kevin Durant and the other on Draymond Green.
