BLAME IT ON THE BEARD

The Houston Rockets overcame a 17 point deficit in the 2nd quarter to make Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference Finals a thriller that came down to the very last possession. With less than 10 seconds to go, superstar James Harden grabbed a defensive rebound and headed downcourt. He was met by the league MVP Stephen Curry and splash brother Klay Thompson who trapped him approximately 26ft from the basket as time expired. Grief isn't the word to describe the 98-99 loss that came about solely because of a mishap on the part of the Rockets. After overcoming a 3-1 series deficit, nothing is insurmountable for Houston, especially considering the fact that they loss Game 1 & 2 by less than 5 point margins. Regardless of the circumstances, credit is definitely due for the #1 seeded Golden State Warriors who made a tremendous effort in defending home court to take a 2-0 series lead.

Stephen Curry surpassed Dennis Scott for most three point field goals made in a Playoffs tourney. Curry splashed through 5 three-pointers in Game 2, and led the Warriors with 33 points 6 assists and 3 rebounds in the stellar victory. What will happen in Game 3 Saturday that can possibly shift the outcome is Harden's free throw attempts. Countless of times, NBA refs disregarded penetration drives where both Dwight Howard and James Harden were clearly hacked out of scoring position. The Toyota Center should give the Rockets the leverage they need t finally get a win against the Western Conference best Golden State Warriors. Only time will tell though.
