“Probably have to mix it up a bit and see where I can get different catches and touches because they’re kind of figuring stuff out for us”. We got everything we needed. He’s feeling a little better today.
Draymond Green all but guaranteed that Golden State would win Game 6 Saturday night and extend the series, telling ESPN, “We’ll be back here for Game 7”.
So what did Kerr tell his team after Game 5?
“We don’t want to come and be pouting around”, he said.
The 33-year-old hinted after leaving the arena that he could be fine to feature in Game 6 tomorrow night.
Thursday night’s Game 5 matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets had several notable takeaways, but it was the play of Chris Paul that has most people talking, including Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star LeBron James. Curry then missed a seven-foot floater with 22.4 seconds remaining.
Houston point guard Chris Paul is dealing with an apparent leg injury which happened in the final minute of the game.
Paul exited Houston’s 98-94 Game 5 win on Thursday in the final minute and received extensive postgame treatment, leaving the Toyota Center around midnight. Houston (65-17) and Golden State (58-24) finished with the top records in the National Basketball Association, while Boston (55-27) and Cleveland (50-32) finished just behind their Western Conference foes.
The Warriors have been pushed to the brink of elimination as a result of atypical offensive struggles, especially in their Game 4 and Game 5 losses. As of Thursday morning, 73 percent of public bets are being placed on visiting Golden State.
The Rockets have leaned heavily on Paul and James Harden en route to being a win away from the NBA Finals.
“When MJ was with the Bulls, we had a playoff game”, Kerr began the story. We kept trying to score. “We’ll just continue to take it day to day.”. However, Curry missed a runner off the glass with Golden State trailing by one point down the stretch. However, The Undefeated’s Marc Spears caught up with Paul after the game and he expressed some optimism that he’ll be able to play. That’s too much of a burden for Harden to carry against an elite defensive team. If he’s there, great, good for him.
