All I’ve wanted as an NBA fan since Kevin Durant joined the Warriors is to see that team get tested. That’s what made last May’s West finals so enthralling. The Rockets weren’t a perfect challenger for Golden State. Their style of play wasn’t always aesthetically pleasing. They didn’t have the same number (or caliber) of top-flight stars. And the Dubs themselves were notably battling an injury to Andre Iguodala. Still, Chris Paul’s shimmy in the face of Steph Curry was an top-three 2018 NBA moment for me, as Houston had finally put the defending champs on the ropes.
