Stephen Curry, scoreless in the first half, put in all 33 of his field goals in the second as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets 118-113 and advanced to the Western Conference finals.
The two-time defending champions just got their ticket to the NBA’s final four for the fifth consecutive season and eliminated the Rockets from the postseason for the fourth time in five years, The Manila Times reported, citing a dispatch from Agence France Presse.
“We knew at some point we would have a chance to steal this game and we did,” the AFP report quoted Curry as saying.
The Warriors clinched the series in six games by reverting to their championship form pre-Durant, who was injured in game five.
