Thompson made a 3-pointer after that and then officials reviewed Paul’s first basket of the quarter and ruled he got it off after the shot clock expired, leaving the Warriors ahead 80-79. The total is set at 212.5 points.

What is it going to take to get Golden State to truly focus and play up to their potential?

Chris Paul went down late in Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors and suffered what appeared to be a hamstring injury late in the Rockets’ win Thursday night. “We wanted to force Game 7 so badly”.

The Warriors opened as five-point favorites at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook for Game 7.

Without Paul, D’Antoni inserted Eric Gordon into the starting lineup and brought the ailing forward Luc Mbah a Moute back into the rotation.

Likewise, GSW’s Andre Iguodala is considered a game time decision after missing the last two games, both Warriors losses, with a bruised left knee. In addition to buying the Rockets a number of extra possessions with his hustle, Tucker thwarted several layups and held Durant to 1-of-5 shooting when he was the closest defender to him, per Second Spectrum and NBA Advanced Stats. “We’ve played a lot of games like this, so it’s not uncharted territory”. He had been playing well before that, scoring 18 of his 20 points in the second half and even shimmying in front of the shimmy master himself, Stephen Curry. He had four rebounds and an assist.

On Saturday, the Warriors looked more like the team that swept through the West previous year than the one that has struggled offensively against the Rockets. Well nearly. Consider Durant’s awareness on when Game 7 starts.
