NBA Playoffs 2019: Stephen Curry's second-half heroics help Warriors down Rockets and advance to Western Conference finals

Firstpost  

Stephen Curry scored all 33 of his points in the second half as the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets to advance to the Western Conference finals. Los Angeles: Stephen Curry scored all 33 of his points in the second half as the Golden State Warriors shook off the absence of Kevin Durant to beat the Houston Rockets 118-113 and advance to the Western Conference finals. “This whole playoff run he has been the best player in the league and has carried us so the least we could do is have his back tonight and move on to the next round.” Durant’s status is uncertain for game one of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday in Oakland, California, against either the Portland Trail Blazers or the Denver Nuggets. “We don’t win this game tonight without everybody on the court, especially Klay.” Thompson added 27 points on seven-of-13 three-point shooting, and the Golden State bench contributed 33 points, with Kevon Looney and Shaun Livingston both scoring in double figures.
