OAKLAND, Calif. -- In recent days, some Golden State Warriors players admitted they were keeping an eye on their potential second-round opponent, the Houston Rockets.
"We see our opponent, they're up 3-0," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said of the Rockets after his team's Game 4 win Sunday. "So we don't wanna give them any more rest days."
But the Clippers, who beat the Warriors 129-121 in Game 5 on Wednesday to extend their first-round series, took exception to being overlooked.
"For us, our focus was to come in extend the series and get another win on the home floor," Clippers star reserve Lou Williams said after the win at Oracle Arena, which pushed the series to Game 6 Friday in Los Angeles.
