As you watched that quarter it felt like the Warriors were dominating.
Curry was hitting 3’s and scoring 15 points, the crowd was loud but the Rockets hung around by taking care of the ball and getting to the line.
That late missed call and basket by Barbosa made the scoreline look a little worse however.

What a quarter, the Warriors raced out to a 17 point lead on the Rockets and the house was pumping.
It looked like a blowout was on the cards tonight but the Rockets, like they have done most of the season, just kept chipping away and before you knew it were back in the game.
They finished the half on a 23 – 6 run to tie the game as we enter the second half.
Harden went to a special place in the last 2 minutes, becoming totally unstoppable.
Amazingly the Warriors have 21 ASSISTS already but have undone the good work with 11 turnovers.
