The NBA’s most anticipated playoff matchup is starting to live up to the hype. The Rockets evened up the Western Conference finals on Wednesday, blowing out the Warriors in a 127–105 win. Houston was the aggressor in Game 2, as its role players stepped up in a big way on both ends of the floor. Golden State couldn’t match its opponent’s energy, wasting another sublime performance from Kevin Durant, who scored 38 points on a series of absurd shots. The Rockets still have their work cut out for them as the series shifts to Oakland, but they showed Wednesday they won’t go down without a serious fight.
