Let's

go

crazy.

I

think

those

words

are

rather

appropriate.

We're

here

to

have

fun

tonight.

So

for

the

next

minutes,

Houston,

Let's

go

crazy.

Get

on

your

feet.

Make

some

noise!

It's

the

NBA

playoffs!

Let's

meet

the

visiting

warriors.

At

one

forward

is

it

is

the

fourth

season

out

of

North

Carolina,

number

Harrison

Barnes.

At

the

other

forward

is

it

is

the

fourth

season

out

of

Michigan

State,

number

Draymond

Green.

Starting

at

center,

it

is

the

season

out

of

Australia,

number

Andrew

Bogut.

At

guard,

it

is

his

season

out

of

Washington

State,

number

Klay

Thompson.

And

at

the

other

guard,

it

is

his

season

out

of

Peoria

Central

High

School,

number

Sean

Livingston.

The

head

coach

of

the

Golden

State

Warriors

is

Steve

Kerr.

Houston,

Southwest

Atlanta

Christian

Academy.

Number

Forward.

Trevor

Arden.

Power

forward

out

of

Lithuania.

Number

Joe

Brown.

The

series

now

moves

to

Houston,

Texas

for

games

three

and

four.

Even

with

Steph

Curry

out

again,

The

Warriors'

firepower,

Klay

Thompson.

Draymond

Green

is

formidable.

So

the

Rockets

will

need

every

bit

of

James

Harden

to

avoid

a

three-game

deficit.

Welcome,

Everyone,

to

the

NBA

Playoffs

on

TNT.

Game

three

with

the

defending

champions,

Golden

State

Warriors,

taking

on

the

Houston

Rockets.

leading

two

games

tonight

with

Hall

of

Famer

Reggie

Miller,

Kevin

Harlan.

The

biggest

story

so

far

all

over

the

country

in

this

first

round

of

the

playoffs,

the

condition

of

Steph

Curry's

ankle.

Here

you

take

a

look

at

the

lineups.

And

again,

they

put

Sean

Livingston

in

there

for

the

Golden

State

Warriors.

Motion

offense

will

begin

once

again.

Second

consecutive

start

for

the

Houston

Rockets

in

their

front

group.

And

already,

Reg,

I

can

see

a

matchup.

You're

going

to

watch

Livingston

and

Beverley.

Yeah,

Livingston

has

the

height

advantage.

Allie

just

talked

about

the

gimpy

knee.

It

was

something

to

watch

and

look

for

as

the

game

goes

on

from

Patrick

Beverley.

Look

for

Steve

Kerr

to

use

Livingston's

height

advantage

by

running

Sean

down

in

the

post.

Our

officials

tonight

here

in

Houston,

Texas.

Scott

Foster

is

one

of

the

best

in

the

business.

Mark

Ayotte.

Along

with

Tom

Washington.

In

Game

Golden

State

beat

them

in

Game

It

was

the

Warriors'

And

off

the

bat,

Here

come

the

eighth-seeded

Houston

Rockets

who

finished

the

regular

season

It's

Patrick

Beverley

and

Livingston

out

of

there

with

a

deflection.

And

the

shot

clock

already

at

six,

It

powered

into

Bogut.

That

is

something

the

Rockets

need.

They

need

scoring

inside

tonight.

Well,

Not

only

scoring

inside,

but

you

have

to

establish

Dwight

Howard

down

low.

He's

only

averaging

eight

field-goal

attempts

through

two

games.

He's

got

to

be

more

dominant

in

the

post

area.

Harrison

Barnes.

That

was

over

Harden.

Magic

Beverley.

And

now

we

talked

about

the

nice

block

inside

by

Bogut.

The

shot

clock

will

be

at

as

the

little

man

tried

to...

Working

side,

Patrick

Beverley

is

coming

off

a

Game

Logan

has

just

done

a

fantastic

job

protecting

the

paint

throughout

these

first

two

games

versus

the

Rockets.

Mody

Unis,

the

drive,

and

on

the

doorstep

could

not

convert.

And

three-on-three,

Draymond

Green

inside.

Ariza.

Nice

job

by

Beverley.

Distracting

Draymond

Green

on

that

one-man

fast

break.

Livingston

will

pick

up

the

personal

foul.

Working

on

the

wing

was

Ariza.

Number

one

on

Sean

Livingston

Who

comes

in

off

a

very

good

game.

Seven

of

nine.

points.

Again.

We

talked

about

the

height

advantage

he

has

versus

Beverly.

Beverly,

three.

And

a

big

shot

right

there.

This

team

takes

a

lot

of

threes.

Right

back,

In

fact,

Of

this

Golden

State

team.

Klay

Thompson,

in

game

two

with

a

three-point

shot.

His

shooting

has

been

off.

In

fact,

In

this

series

so

far.

Beverly

the

other

way.

Good

position.

Howard

backing

up

into

Bogut.

With

a

foul

called

on

Andrew

Bogut

inside.

Dwight

Howard

just

backed

up

Bogut.

Or,

excuse

me,

Andrew

Bogut

underneath

the

rim.

This

is

exactly

how

you

establish

position.

Shakers

claim

inside.

Now

in

these

two-plus

games

in

this

series,

From

the

line,

Howard

is

of

from

the

free-throw

line

for

the

Rockets.

Green

is

inside.

Harden.

There's

Motiejunas.

He

snuck

it

out.

Bogut

knocked

it

away.

And

Motiejunas

sticks

with

it

and

puts

it

back

up

and

in.

Eddingston

on

the

wing.

Rockets

have

gotten

a

three

from

Beverly.

They

lead

it

Motiejunas,

who

just

put

in

two

moments

ago

on

a

rebound

by

Bogut.

We've

got

the

Golden

State

Warriors,

the

defending

NBA

champions,

who

lead

this

series

two

games

to

none.

They

won

the

last

one,

A

moving

side

and

there's

Klay

Thompson

who

was

penetrating

in

game

two

but

his

outside

shot

has

been

a

bit

wayward;

these

guys

do

such

a

great

job

of

moving

without

the

basketball.

It's

a

reason

for

a

three.

Rebound

by

Draymond

Green,

who's

had

a

double-double

in

each

of

these

games

to

begin.

They

go

high!

And

Livingston

comes

down

with

a

beautiful

feed

from

Draymond

Green.

the

leading

assist

man

on

this

Warriors

team,

Draymond

Green,

makes

it

so

special.

When

he

can

secure

the

rebound,

it

becomes

a

one-man

fast

break.

James

Harden

with

a

miss.

Another

rebound

for

Howard.

Beverly

thought

about

a

three.

He'll

take

another

three.

Rebound

attempt

inside

by

James

Harden,

who

had

a

game

two.

And

there

is

a

shot

and

a

foul.

It

is

called

on

the

inside

and

Bogut

has

picked

up

his

second.

Very

quickly

they've

got

a

player

checking

in

off

the

bench.

Bogut,

who's

done

a

great

job

through

two

games

of

patrolling

that

paint,

especially

on

the

defensive

end,

picks

up

two

quick

fouls

here

in

the

first

quarter;

Rockets

two

of

ten.

Was

Harden

to

Howard;

Harden,

who

is

the

sixth-leading

assist

man

in

the

league,

getting

some

help

with

good

position

staked

inside

by

Dwight

Howard.

The

Warriors

lead

this

series

two

games

to

none.

It'd

be

a

pretty

big

hole

for

the

Rockets

to

lose

tonight

in

the

first

game

back

in

Houston.

And

Howard

slams

it

in

for

the

Rockets.

Harden

on

the

attack.

And

one.

Harden

with

the

interception.

Harden

with

the

touch

pass

to

Beverly.

He

hits

it.

It's

overdrive.

Five

seconds.

Three-point

attempt

by

Harden.

Back

in

Houston,

Texas,

Kevin

Harlan

with

the

Hall

of

Famer

Reggie

Miller.

No

Steph

Curry

tonight

again,

missing

his

second

consecutive

game.

Keys

for

the...

Rockets,

who

are

down

two

games

to

none.

Well,

they're

going

to

need

some

home

cooking.

Obviously,

They're

going

to

have

to

be

dialed

in

from

long

distance

as

Ariza

comes

up

with

the

steal

here.

Powered

into

Ezeli.

Bogut

down

on

the

bench

with

a

couple

fouls

and

another

foul

on

a

big

man

inside.

That

goes

on

Festus

Ezeli,

who

picks

up

his

first.

They've

got

to

be

dialed

in

from

long

distance.

The

Rockets

average

about

made

threes

on

the

season.

Go

big,

They've

got

to

own

the

paint.

They've

been

minus

through

two

games

and

need

to

establish

Dwight

Howard.

We

just

saw

the

alley-oop

from

Harden

to

Howard.

He's

got

to

make

himself

known

in

that

paint

area.

James

Harden,

who

did

not

have

a

single

free

throw

attempt

in

game

one

and

was

at

the

line

plenty.

Game

two:

the

Golden

State

Warriors

have

just

given

up

their

fourth

team

foul.

and

were

his

numbers

in

game

two,

and

the

eighth-seed

Rockets,

who

finished

the

regular

season

and

face

the

top-seed

Golden

State

Warriors

at

and

an

NBA

record;

it's

Livingston

a

very

good

game

two,

Beverly

with

the

rebound

inside

to

Festus

Ezeli,

new

shot

clock,

Green

and

Harrison

Barnes,

who

is

really

struggling

with

his

shot

in

game

two

Barnes

was

one

of

ten.

Harden

feeding

no

one,

though.

Out

of

bounds

it

goes.

This

team

turns

it

over

about

as

much

as

any

team

in

the

league.

And

Harden,

turnovers

through

two

games.

turnovers

as

a

team

throughout

the

first

two

games;

it's

Ezeli

inside.

Errant

pass

off

the

glass.

Picked

up

Moni

Unison.

Here

comes

Harden.

The

acceleration.

The

feed.

And

a

one-handed

hammer.

It's

Howard.

And

the

Warriors

have

their

largest

deficit

of

the

series.

Well,

I'm

liking

it;

turn

the

basketball

over.

Trying

to

get

some

easy

ones

in

transition.

All

on

top

of

that,

I've

never

seen

the

big

fella

down

alone,

as

Barnes

knocks

down

his

second

made

of

the

evening.

Barnes

now

is

of

in

the

series

from

the

field.

Beverly,

Marty

Eunice.

Beverly

has

hit

a

three,

Tries

another.

He's

got

a

couple.

And

the

Rockets

are

on

top

by

seven.

And

a

timeout

taken

by

Steve

Kerr.

Kerr.

Five

minutes

gone.

Rockets

on

a

run;

Howard

flying

and

slamming.

And

then

Beverly

tees

up

the

triple.

Steve

Kerr,

and

I'm

not

too

happy

about

the

way

his

champions

have

come

out

and

started

this

game.

He's

the

most

animated.

We

haven't

seen

Steve

Kerr

like

this

in

a

long

while.

He

called

that

quick

timeout

to

get

on

his

team.

He

felt

that

they've

been

sleepwalking

throughout

this

first

quarter.

There's

no

intensity.

They

are

not

tied

together

like

they

normally

are

at

both

ends

of

the

court.

In

the

first

quarter

of

the

series

so

far,

coming

into

tonight,

Golden

State

outscored

the

Houston

Rockets

in

the

first.

On

the

shot,

Beverly

was

defending

down

low

and

picked

it

up

for

the

Rockets.

That's

the

first

on

him.

But

think

of

that.

A

deficit

of

to

in

the

first

two

games.

That's

a

hole

to

dig

out

of

in

both

games.

Not

tonight.

A

little

bit

of

a

different

tune.

They've

got

Livingston

at

the

line.

Watch

Livingston

has

been

great

along

with

Iguodala

and

Barbosa

off

the

bench.

It's

been

the

starters

shooting.

Green,

Thompson,

and

Barnes.

That

has

been

at

combined

through

the

first

two

games.

Well,

that's

what

makes

this

team

so

special.

You

know,

without

the

MVP

on

the

floor,

Steph

Curry,

and

those

points,

other

guys

have

to

step

up.

And

I'll

be

curious

tonight

to

see

how

Barnes,

who

has

really

struggled

in

this

series,

he

has

to

be

that

secondary

scorer

for

Golden

State.

There's

a

whistle.

It

was

inside.

Looks

like

that's

going

to

be

on

Livingston.

Livingston,

and

that's

going

to

be

two.

Livingston's

got

two.

Bogut's

got

two.

And

Andre

Iguodala

will

check

in

for

Livingston.

And

Iguodala

was

as

effective

as

Livingston

was

in

game

two.

Iguodala,

the

Finals

MVP,

had

points.

Motiejunas

at

the

line

for

the

Rockets.

Rotations

are

going

to

be

interesting,

especially

on

the

road

here.

Steve

Kerr

said

he

felt

he

overplayed

Livingston

in

that

starting

lineup

in

game

two.

Andre

Iguodala

will

come

in

earlier,

even

though

he

picked

up

those

two

fouls

from

Sean.

But

look

for

Ian

Clark

and

Leandro

Barbosa

to

play

more

minutes

here

on

the

road

in

game

three

to

kind

of

supplement

those

minutes

missed

by

Steph

Curry.

Rockets

won

by

no

margin

at

all

during

the

regular

season.

They

struggled

against

this

team,

being

swept

again

for

a

second

consecutive

year.

Ariza

had

it

off

the

rim,

miscalculating.

On

the

dunk.

And

they

come

the

other

way.

A

three

by

Harden.

Rockets,

a

foul

on

Dwight

Howard.

It

sure

was.

Down

low

and

away

from

the

ball.

And

Howard

has

picked

up

his

first

for

the

Rockets.

But

you've

got

to

go

back

two

years

ago

for

a

Rocket

win

over

this

Golden

State

team,

postseason

or

otherwise.

Except

for

the

one

win

here

last

year

in

Game

when

they

came

back

in

the

series,

which

was

eventually

won

by

Golden

State

four

games

to

one.

It's

a

steal.

Oh

my

goodness.

Who

knocks

it

away

with

some

terrific

D.

Beverley,

James

Harden,

Iguodala

there,

the

three.

Great

activity.

Howard.

By

Dwight

Howard

at

the

defensive

end.

Ariza

thinks

he

has

an

uncontested

finish

here.

And

Dwight

Howard

with

the

nice

block.

And

Kev,

You

know

what

I'm

always

talking

about?

The

game

within

the

game.

It's

a

treat

over

here

to

have

one

of

the

greatest

players

of

all

time,

Hakeem

Olajuwon,

to

our

right.

He's

actually

coaching

Dwight

Howard

from

this

seat

right

here.

I

can

see

the

communication

that's

going

on

between

the

two

players.

Klay

Thompson

with

a

miss.

Back

outside

it

goes.

Close

one

of

three.

There's

a

whistle.

It's

blown

inside.

Rockets

are

going

to

pick

this

one

up.

Moni

Yunus

with

the

first

on

him.

His

name

came

up

during

the

Kobe

Farewell

tour.

Bryant

talked

about

a

time

that

he

came

down

to

Houston

and

wanted

to

pick

Hakeem's

mind

on

footwork

and

the

maneuverings

and

the

chiseling

that

you

do

when

you're

down

low

and

posting

up.

And

he

said

that.

It

was

about

as

instructive

a

time

as

he

spent

with

any

former

player,

learning

some

of

the

nuances

of

the

game.

I

love

how

he

and

Dwight

are

communicating

right

now.

I

mean,

they

have

a

special

relationship.

Obviously,

Hakeem

works

with

Dwight

during

off

days

here.

Dwight

just

picked

up

that

offensive

foul.

It

was

Hakeem

who

was

over

here

motioning

to

him.

That's

too

much,

big

fella.

You

don't

need

to

get

into

a

physical

match

with

Ezeli.

Use

your

speed

and

quickness.

Draymond

Green

at

the

free

throw

line.

A

first-time

All-Star

this

year.

He

shot

from

the

free

throw

line

during

the

regular

season.

Moni

Unis

will

check

out.

Josh

Smith

will

check

in.

He

began

the

season

with

the

Los

Angeles

Clippers

with

the

Rockets

last

year

in

the

playoffs

and

out

of

bounds

and

off

of

Harden.

And

Golden

State

will

have

it.

Five

and

a

half

to

play

here

in

the

first.

That

was

Ezeli

on

the

offensive

glass,

causing

the

disruption

that

allowed

Golden

State

another

possession.

Iguodala

to

Ezeli.

And

Ezeli

is

at

the

center.

With

a

mismatch,

let's

see

if

he

tries

to

work

into

it.

The

double

by

Smith.

Kicks

it

outside.

Green.

Iguodala.

Howard

meets

him.

Ezeli

inside

on

the

doorstep,

and

he

can't

get

it,

but

he

does

get

the

rebound.

And

a

high

pass

to

the

corner

out

of

the

reach

of

Harrison

Barnes

with

a

third

Golden

State

turnover.

And

if

there

is

one

knock

on

the

Golden

State

Warriors

because

They

are

so

great

offensively

and

efficient.

It's

been

the

turnovers.

At

times,

They

become

careless.

Nonchalant,

because

a

lot

of

times

they're

looking

for

the

home

run

play.

Harden

and

he

hits

his

first

of

the

night

right

there.

But

what

is

it?

Attacking

the

paint.

Points

in

the

paint

here.

Kevin.

Ezeli

over

Howard

off

the

glass

and

he

puts

it

in.

The

Warriors

had

missed

their

last

four

until

that

shot

right

there.

Golden

State

has

the

best

road

record.

A

road

total

this

season.

An

NBA

record.

Including

here.

Harden

inside

hard,

and

a

foul.

A

reach-in,

and

Ezeli

picks

up

another

foul.

So

he's

got

a

couple.

Bogut's

on

the

bench

with

two,

and

here

comes

Leandro

Barbosa.

He

will

check

in

for

Golden

State.

Another

trip

to

the

free-throw

line

right

now

for

James

Harden.

And

to

go.

With

the

Rockets

on

top

by

six.

They've

led

by

eight.

Obviously,

with

the

foul

trouble

to

the

bigs.

Bringing

in

McAdoo

for

Ezeli.

Who's

picked

up

two

fouls

in

this

first

quarter.

James

Michael

McAdoo.

Thompson.

Iguodala.

Draymond

Green

and

Barbosa.

That's

the

group

out

there

right

now.

Steph

Curry

had

a

bit

of

practice

yesterday.

Second

consecutive

miss.

Here

is

Iguodala.

Draymond

Green,

one

of

the

top

assist

men

in

the

league.

Thompson,

two,

good.

good.

Klay

puts

it

in.

His

free-throw

shooting

was

the

story,

though,

in

game

two.

He

hit

of

from

the

line.

Interesting

cross-matching

here

because

Ariza's

going

to

have

to

guard

Klay

Thompson

on

the

defensive

end.

But

Thompson's

trying

to

guard

James

Harden

on

offense

for

Houston.

Iguodala

got

the

rebound.

Green.

No

feed.

Oh,

There's

a

nice

knockaway

by

Ariza.

Number

six

in

steals.

Knocked

it

away

there.

Harden

flies

inside.

Green

punches

it.

Picked

up

by

Harden.

He'll

tee

up

a

three.

James

Harden

has

nine

points.

He

leads

all

scorers.

Not

only

the

nine,

but

he's

already

been

to

the

free

throw

line

four

times.

Remember,

no

free

throws.

Another

turnover

here.

What

a

play

by

Howard.

Ahead,

a

reset.

Curry

has

already

used

up

two

timeouts

in

this

first

quarter.

And

that's

not

to

call

a

timeout

here

in

this

Rockets

run.

Draymond

Green

three.

Rebound

by

Dwight

Howard.

He's

claimed

three

rebounds

with

his

five

points.

Very

active.

Very

involved.

Shifting

gears.

Harden

slides.

Offensive

foul.

James

Harden

Harden.

Number

one.

I

got

to

see

this.

Looks

like

he's

split

as

he's

coming

over

here,

looking

at

us.

Harden

made

the

move.

James

Michael

McAdoo

takes

it

like

a

man

inside

for

the

Warriors.

Late

first

quarter.

He

does

a

good

job

of

just

making

space,

Getting

to

the

rim.

Nice

alley-oop.

Consecutive

times

from

James

Harden

here.

Harden

does

it

himself.

Long

rebounds.

Sets

up

from

behind

the

arc

with

the

three.

And

then

here's

the

offensive

foul.

Eurostep

by

James

Harden.

Houston's

two

best

players

are

doing

a

good

job

of

impacting

this

game

early.

Rockets

are

plus

eight

points

off

turnovers.

Plus

six

second-chance

points.

Iguodala

with

a

three.

And

he

missed

it

with

to

go

here

in

the

first

quarter.

Nine

for

Harden.

There

are

two

fouls

on

Bogut.

He

left

early.

Livingston's

got

two.

Ezeli's

got

two

for

the

Warriors.

Jason

Terry

has

come

in;

Smith

remains.

They've

got

Clint

Capela

in;

Ariza

remains

in

the

contest.

Harden

is

in

there

for

Houston.

I

always

talk

about

the

great

equalizer.

The

Golden

State

Warriors

a

team

that

averages

made

three-pointers

on

the

season.

They're

while

the

Rockets

are

from

downtown.

We

have

some

dynamite

scoring

coming

into

this

series.

Certainly.

And

extending

right

now

is

Golden

State.

They

are

the

number-one

scoring

team

in

the

NBA.

It's

Draymond

Green.

He

just

picked

up

his

first.

The

Rockets

are

number

four

in

scoring.

Right

across

the

board.

Golden

State

is

as

good

as

there

is,

number

one

in

scoring.

And

number

one

in

shooting.

the

number-one

three-point

shooting

team.

and

the

number-one

offensive-rated

team

in

points

per

possessions.

But

tonight,

of

of

to

start.

And,

Kevin,

For

James

Harden,

In

this

first

quarter,

already

six

free-throw

attempts,

three

rebounds,

and

three

assists

to

go

along

with

points.

James

Michael

McAdoo

at

Barbosa,

and

Klay

Thompson

on

top.

He's

two

of

five.

Shep,

The

defense

takes

it

to

the

rack.

One-handed

layup

by

Klay

Thompson.

That's

been

the

expansion

of

Klay's

game.

He's

not

just

a

three-point

shooter.

Put

the

ball

at

get

all

the

way

to

the

hole,

use

that

length.

Going

against

a

pretty

good

defender

in

Ariza.

And

he

did

that

in

game

two.

Harden

with

a

crossover,

long

two

oh,

no,

he

didn't.

Oh

no,

he

didn't.

He

is

locked

in

with

and

a

half

to

play

here

in

the

first

quarter.

Trying

to

feed

inside,

Green

had

it

knocked

away.

Smith's

lead

pass

to

Ariza

resulted

in

a

turnover.

J.

B.

Bickerstaff,

who

took

the

place

of

Kevin

McHale

games

into

the

season.

and

under

him,

and

here

is

Green.

He'll

work

on

Smith.

Foul

is

on

Josh

Smith.

Look

at

this

move

here

by

James

Harden

going

against

a

really

good

defender.

He

basically

just

turns

Andre

Iguodala

around

in

circles

with

the

step

back.

It

doesn't

get

any

better

than

that.

A

little

home

cooking

here

for

the

bearded

one.

At

the

line

is

Green

for

a

second

consecutive

year.

He

finished

number

two

in

the

voting

for

the

Defensive

Player

of

the

Year.

Here's

a

guy

who

had

triple

doubles

this

season.

As

we

mentioned

earlier,

he's

averaging

a

double-double

in

each

game

of

this

series.

All

those

players,

every

season

in

the

league,

his

numbers

have

gone

up

in

every

significant

category.

Jason

Terry,

He

started

all

playoff

games

last

year

because

Beverly

was

injured

with

a

wrist

injury.

Josh

Smith,

three.

And

he

was

from...

beyond

the

arc

in

the

first

couple

games.

No

fouls

to

give

either

way.

Thompson

drives

On

Ariza.

Iguodala

with

Harden

there.

And

Ariza

doubles.

And

McAdoo

hands

off

to

Barbosa.

Intercepted

by

Ariza.

Another

Golden

State

turnover.

Ariza

to

the

rack.

Harden

taps

it

in.

for

James

Harden.

The

league's

second-leading

scorer.

The

leader

is

in

the

locker

room

right

now.

Steph

Curry.

McAdoo

backpedaling,

shoved

and

fouled

inside.

Klay

Thompson.

He's

gotten

off

to

somewhat

Off

a

slow

start.

He

does

have

six

points

on

three

of

six

field

goals.

But

he's

going

to

need

some

help

offensively.

Barnes,

who

picked

up

the

fouls,

is

going

to

have

to

find

a

way

to

score

the

basketball.

Michael

Beasley

is

in.

He

got

the

feed.

He

gets

the

miss.

It's

out

of

bounds

and

on

the

shot

clock.

Michael

Beasley,

who

came

over

from

China

after

he

was

the

MVP,

was

signed

in

March,

and

was

the

second-leading

scorer

once

he

joined

this

team.

He

was

signed

in

early

March

to

finish

out

the

regular

year.

Harden,

Iguodala

there,

Three.

Picked

up

by

James

Michael

McAdoo,

just

seconds

remaining.

First

quarter

coming

to

a

close,

good

if

it

goes.

Thompson

with

a

three,

which

will

not

drop.

But

what

a

way

to

start

for

the

Rockets.

In

the

first

two

games

of

the

series,

Golden

State

had

scored

all

the

points

in

the

first

quarter.

But

not

tonight.

Golden

State

shooting

They

committed

six

turnovers

as

the

Rockets

have

just

had

their

highest-scoring

quarter

of

this

first-round

series.

This

is

Clutch

City.

After

the

Golden

State

Warriors

just

had

their

lowest-scoring

quarter

of

the

series,

Moments

ago,

Our

Ally

LaForest

caught

up

with

Warrior

head

coach

Steve

Kerr.

Coach,

You

were

not

happy

with

the

way

this

team

started

this

basketball

game.

What

frustrated

you

most?

Everything.

Our

defense

was

bad.

We

broke

down

on

a

couple

of

our

normal

basic

principles

and

gave

them

layups.

And

then

we

turned

it

over

five

or

six

times.

Which

led

to

transition.

You

can't

do

that.

Especially

on

the

road.

Harden

already

has

points

and

six

free-throw

attempts.

Anything

different

you

do

on

him

defensively?

Not

really.

You

know,

We

reached

one

time.

We

didn't

reach

once

in

game

one.

We've

got

to

get

back

to

that

mentality.

But

he's

going

to

get

his

points

and

his

trips

to

the

line

because

of

how

he

plays.

And

we've

got

to

withstand

that

early

rush

and

get

back

in

the

game.

Thank

you,

Coach.

Now

checking

in

Marreese

Speights,

Who

just

hit

a

three.

He's

been

shooting

very

well

in

this

series.

Speights

to

the

rack.

Marreese

Speights

comes

off

the

bench

late

in

the

first

quarter.

Comes

up

with

his

first.

Two

right

there.

Actually,

Beasley

has

shot

the

ball

pretty

well

these

first

two

games.

of

goals.

points

combined.

He

hasn't

seen

a

lot

of

minutes.

But

tonight

he

may;

he

comes

in

early

here.

Livingston

back

in.

Tried

to

corkscrew.

On

Corey

Brewer.

There's

a

shot

outside,

Which

won't

go

by

Speights.

Back

in

the

contest,

Beverly.

Oh,

Nice

spin

move

by

the

Terry.

That

high,

it

goes.

Howard.

With

another

jam.

Boy,

They're

setting

him

up,

And

he

is

getting

great

position.

Well,

And

it

all

starts

with

the

dribble

penetration

from

the

guards.

We

saw

it

a

couple

times

with

Harden,

And

then

finally

Jason

Terry

with

the

penetration.

Ian

Clark

has

come

in

for

Golden

State

to

begin

the

second

quarter.

Outside,

Harrison

Barnes.

It's

a

three.

He

really

has

struggled

with

that

outside

shot.

Look

at

Barnes.

Gets

them

back

on

their

heels.

Here's

a

Terry

triple.

Howard

with

a

rebound.

Knocked

out

of

his

hands.

He

covers

it

inside.

A

lot

of

shot

clock.

Beasley

will

fly

and

crash,

and

a

foul

on

Michael

Beasley.

Talk

about

the

dribble

penetration

that

has

broken

down

this

Warriors

defense.

The

Jet

gets

into

the

middle

of

the

lane

and

just

throws

it

to

the

rim.

Let

Howard

finish.

This

is

his

third

alley-oop

in

this

first

half

for

the

big

fella.

Asserting

himself

early.

Rockets

lead

right

now.

It's

their

biggest.

Ready,

Dwight

Howard,

three

of

five.

Field

goal,

seven

points.

Getting

him

involved,

A

switch

on

defense.

Brewer

now

goes

back

on

Livingston,

Ball

knocked

Away.

Another

turnover

by

Golden

State

and

Beasley.

Seven

turnovers

by

the

Warriors.

In

stride,

Beverley.

Snaps

it

outside,

Terry,

three-pointer.

That's

out

of

bounds.

Boy,

Jason

Terry

can't

believe

the

last

two

looks

that

he

has

had.

Wide

open

threes.

To

one

of

the

best

three-point

shooters

in

the

game.

Absolutely

one

of

the

best.

Howard

has

been

active.

Harden

is

looking

for

a

shot,

as

always.

Terry,

Another

long

shot.

This

one

from

two.

Speights

has

the

board.

Shaun

Livingston

the

other

way.

He

said

something

interesting

about

Livingston

before.

He

is

on

a

minute

count.

And

there's

a

lob

in

the

corner

and

no

one

is

home.

Was

it

tapped?

It

was

a

shove

and

it

was

a

foul.

Foul

on

Beverley,

holding

Barnes

in

the

post.

Two

on

him,

Greg.

With

Harden

on

the

bench.

At

the

time,

I

would

really

like

this

to

funnel

all

the

offense

through

Dwight

Howard.

Especially

with

all

the

shooters

on

the

floor

for

the

Rockets.

It's

a

drive

inside

by

Clark.

Beverley

put

on

the

brakes

once

and

twice.

Rockets

have

missed

their

last

four.

Howard

had

it

knocked

away

by

Edgar

Daly.

Shot

clock

at

seconds.

But

you

see,

Not

only

does

he

secure

the

rebound,

it's

Howard.

But

when

you

run

the

floor

hard,

and

Shaquille

can

attest

to

this,

you

put

so

much

pressure

on

the

opposing

defense

when

you

run

right

to

the

rim.

I

guarantee

you,

Speights

does

not

want

any

part

of

Dwight

Howard

Underneath

that

basket.

Beasley,

three,

with

four

on

the

clock.

Can

Livingston

get

the

rebound?

Golden

State

comes

in

with

the

number-one

point

differential

in

the

league.

Historically

high.

is

what

they...

We're

beating

teams

by

This

time

inside,

pushed

and

fouled

on

the

play.

As

we

told

you

at

the

beginning,

Steph

Curry

is

out,

so

the

others

There's

Ridge,

Charles

and

Shaq

Cullen,

They've

got

to

step

up.

Rockets

on

TNT.

All

right,

and

the

probable

MVP

is

out.

For

more,

Let's

go

to

Ali

LaForce.

Thanks,

guys.

Steph

Curry

wanted

to

play

so

badly

today,

but

the

bottom

line

is

Coach

Kerr

could

not

put

him

in

that

game,

considering

he

hasn't

played

in

a

game-like

situation

yet.

It's

easy

to

say

the

ankle's

feeling

better

and

the

ankle's

feeling

great

when

you're

doing

shooting

drills

or

when

you're

on

the

trainer's

table.

But

when

you

have

to

actually

play

game

speed,

it's

a

whole

different

story.

And

that's

what

they're

worried

about.

So

they're

hoping

in

these

next

few

days

before

game

four,

what

they

can

do

is

put

him

in

a

three-on-three

situation.

And

if

that

goes

well,

put

him

in

a

full

scrimmage

situation.

If

his

ankle

continues

to

get

better

after

that,

then

they'd

like

to

play

him

for

game

four.

But

nobody

knows

his

ankle

better

than

Steph.

And

he

made

a

great

point

that

there's...

a

line

you

have

to

ride.

There's

an

amount

of

pain

that

he

can

actually

take,

and

then

once

you

cross

that

threshold,

that's

what

he's

trying

to

avoid.

But

it

is

getting

better

each

and

every

day.

Ali,

You

talked

to

him.

You

watched

his

practice

yesterday.

What

is

Steph

most

concerned

about?

Is

he

concerned

about

the

ankle

or

something

else?

You

know,

when

we

asked

him

if

it

was

a

high

ankle

sprain,

which

was...

what

a

lot

of

people

were

saying,

he

said

no

It's

low,

and

it's

actually

very,

very

low,

and

what

he's

really

worried

about

is

losing

rhythm

and

losing

the

flow;

I

mean,

he's

a

guy

who,

after

every

single

shootaround

in

practice,

gets

up

shots

no

matter

what,

and

he

doesn't

want

to

get

out

of

the

flow

of

the

game

it's

a

huge

part

of

his

game

both

mentally

and

physically;

good

stuff,

Alley,

thank

you;

Beverley

works

inside,

shot

clock

at

three,

loose-ball

foul

inside

Howard

was

lunging

for

it,

Howard

has

picked

up

his

second;

Bogut's

got

two,

Ezeli's

got

two,

Livingston

has

two

for

Golden

State;

and

people

don't

understand

Steve

Kerr

was

telling

us

before

the

game

how

hard

Steph

works

on

all

those

dribble

moves,

the

side-to-sides

and

the

floaters,

that's

all

rhythm

for

him,

and

to

be

off

the

last

four

days

and

not

really

do

anything

or

participate...

These

are

back-to-back

threes

by

Spates.

Six

quick

points

off

the

bench.

They

had

missed

four

in

a

row

until

that.

And

Beverley

inside

on

the

glass.

Beverley

has

played

fantastic

tonight.

Eight

points,

three

rebounds,

a

couple

threes.

How

about

how

physically

he

got

in

Game

One?

There

was

a

lot

of

talk

about

that.

I

was

looking

forward

to

that

matchup

all

series.

A

little

more

than

four

minutes

gone

here

in

the

second

quarter.

Two

games

to

none.

The

Warriors

lead

the

Rockets.

But

the

move,

the

drive,

the

scoop,

the

miss

the

foul

on

this

is

going

to

be

on

Dwight

Howard

here;

see,

Beverley

is

in

the

way,

that's

the

third

on

Beverley.

Rockets

are

switching

everything

now

with

this

lineup

on

the

floor

right

across

the

arm

there

by

Beverly

Clark

three

years

at

the

line.

Kevin,

I'm

going

to

tell

you

what's

scary.

As

upset

as

Steve

Kerr

has

been

in

this

first

half,

and

Golden

State

has

been

somewhat

through

the

motions

because

they

have

not

played

that

hard.

They're

only

down

by

nine.

And

the

team

that's

so

potent

offensively,

That's

scary

if

you're

J.B.

Bickerstaff

and

the

Rockets.

Beasley

picked

up

by

Bartow.

What

a

nice

spin

move

by

Beasley.

He

put

him

in

the

torture

chamber

down

low.

He

was

a

former

top

high

school

player

in

the

country

out

of

the

Baltimore

area.

Look

at

Livingston

drop

the

anvil

at

the

other

end.

Sean

Livingston.

A

terrific

play,

starting

again

tonight

for

the

injured

Curry.

He

answered

in

game

two

and

is

on

that

path

here

in

Greensbury.

Good

pass,

Howard.

Ariza,

Howard.

With

Livingston

knocking

it

away

inadvertently.

And

here

comes

Klay

Thompson.

Off

to

Speights.

And

to

Terry.

Travel.

Eight

turnovers.

I'm

not

quite

sure

if

that

was

a

travel.

Maybe

an

offensive

foul.

Bogut

was

so

important

in

game

two

and

he's

been

sitting

on

the

bench

in

foul

trouble.

Trevor

Ariza,

ten

points

and

seven

boards,

a

three-point

shooter

in

the

regular

season;

it's

been

an

art

to

get

into

it

down

low,

which

is

good;

Clark's

bump

freed

Terry

for

a

wide-open

left

three

and

he

got

that

one;

Harrison

Barnes

let's

talk

about

his

shooting

problems.

He's

got

seven

and

maybe

breaking

out

here

in

Game

Three

of

five

from

the

field

and

he

has

to

step

up

to

that

secondary

scoring

role

with

Curry

out

of

the

lineup.

Terry

with

a

three.

Jason

Terry

stepping

up

points

in

Game

Two;

they've

talked

about

the

magic

number

for

this

Rocket

team.

Fifteen

threes

already.

Spence

has

come

off

the

bench

and

been

terrific.

Three

of

four.

He

is

the

first

Golden

State

Warrior

in

double

figures

with

ten,

halfway

through

the

second

quarter.

Rockets

are

shooting

Michael

Beasley

has

two

in

a

row.

He

has

three

assists

and

six

points

off

the

bench

in

seven

minutes.

Beasley

initially

was

drafted

by

Miami.

He's

bounced

around

the

league

a

little

bit

and

has

gone

overseas.

Here

he

is

back

in

the

league.

There's

no

resistance

to

the

Warriors'

defense.

The

Rockets

are

able

to

get

anywhere

they

want.

The

difference

in

the

game

is

the

second-effort

plays.

Right,

we're

making

all

the

second-effort

plays

right

now.

Keep

running.

Keep

running,

man.

Keep

going.

Keep

going.

We're

doing

it

down

here.

That's

how

we

got

them.

A

lot

here

to

take

in.

You

can

see

areas

where

they

struggled

in

games

one

and

two.

They're

winning

so

far

in

game

three.

And

what

about

the

rebounding?

Houston

is

not

a

good

rebounding

team

on

either

end.

But

tonight

they're

out-rebounding

them

by

eight

deep

into

the

second

quarter.

But

Kev,

All

those

points

that

are

a

plus

in

favor

of

the

Rockets.

It's

what

Coach

J.B.

Bickerstaff

is

telling

his

team.

It's

the

extra

effort

that's

allowing

that

to

happen.

That's

three

by

Ariza.

Rebound

by...

James

Harden.

Thompson

is

on

him.

Terry

in

the

corner.

Another

triple.

Jason

Terry

has

come

off

the

bench.

He's

played

minutes.

Terry

in

the

contest

now

has

scored

six

with

a

couple

of

threes.

That's

the

biggest

lead

of

the

evening

for

Houston.

Green

to

Beasley.

Bogut

is

back

in.

As

is

Marty

Yunus,

who

digs

it

out

and

throws

it

away.

And

then

he

picks

up

a

foul.

I

hope

that

he

wasn't

in

such

a

hurry

to

get

the

ball

to

James

Harden.

It

slipped

out

of

his

hands.

Nice

recognition

by

Thompson

to

come

up

with

the

steal

here.

Look,

He's

trying

to

get

the

ball

out

to

start

the

break.

It

slips

out,

And

look

at

Thompson

just

laying

in

the

weeds

there

like

a

big-mouth

bass.

He

comes

up

with

the

steal.

Do

not

put

that

on

an

instructional

video.

Thompson

at

the

line.

During

the

regular

season,

He

was

from

the

stripe.

And

he

misses

right

there.

And

in

these

playoffs

so

far,

coming

into

tonight,

at

that's

right.

had

right

there.

But

I've

got

to

give

credit

to

Andre.

Great

defense

on

that

possession.

But

here's

the

three.

Step-back

by

Harden.

Seven

made

threes

in

this

first

half.

So

he's

coming

off

his

screen.

Ariza

is

right

there

in

his

grill.

Looney

will

set

his

screen.

He

wants

to

roll.

Green.

Clark.

Thompson.

Four

to

five.

What

a

shot.

What

a

beautiful

shot

indeed

by

Klay

Thompson.

A

lot

of

credit

to

the

pass

by

Ian

Clark

on

the

penetration.

Nine

points.

Leads

the

starters

for

the

Warriors:

needs

to

flash

him.

Green,

in

turn,

has

kept

a

good

pace

in

this

contest.

He's

tried.

Thompson.

No

foul.

Ariza

got

him

from

behind

with

a

push.

Can

I

just

tell

you

the

versatility

of

Draymond

Green

defensively?

He

has

guarded

everyone

from

Dwight

Howard

and

now,

on

the

switch,

James

Harden,

and

made

him

pass

the

basketball.

This

is

what

makes

this

young

man

so

valuable

to

your

ball

club.

Wow.

Dwight

Thompson

at

the

free

throw

He

is

the

fourth.

Father-son

combination

in

the

history

of

the

NBA

to

win

a

championship.

The

Gucases,

The

Berries,

The

Waltons,

And

the

Thompsons.

Mychal

and

Klay.

There

goes

Beasley.

Klay

again.

The

leading

scorer

this

season

was

Klay

Thompson.

And

his

teammate.

Curry

was

number

one,

over

a

game.

Six-point

improvement

from

last

year's

MVP

Long

shot.

No.

The

three

won't

fall;

it

got

by

Howard.

He's

been

active,

And

that's

been

a

huge

difference.

Another

three.

Clark.

He's

got

it.

Clark

is

moving.

And

a

foul.

The

foul

will

go

on

Clark.

Who

picks

up

his

first.

Livingston

back

in.

Here's

Howard.

His

engagement

tonight

has

been

the

story

for

the

Houston

Rockets

as

we

approach

two

minutes

to

play.

In

the

first

half:

nine

points,

six

rebounds.

But

his

impact

has

extended

beyond

those

numbers.

But,

Kevin,

look

where

he's

catching

the

basketball.

I'm

sure

Jack's

going

to

have

a

lot

of

comments

on

that

because,

at

times,

they've

been

critical

of

Dwight

for

not

really

wanting

to

go

low

in

the

post.

Livingston

couldn't

get

it;

the

shot

went

down.

Rockets

are

plus

from

plus

points

off

And

plus

second-chance

points.

Tonight,

only

one

second-chance

point

for

Golden

State.

The

shot

by

Ariza.

It's

picked

up

by

Andre

Iguodala.

He

goes

into

Harden.

He

does

the

pirouette.

And

he

can't

find

the

deuce.

And

it's

picked

up

by

Terry.

He'll

race

the

other

way

are

getting

into

Dwight

has

to

be

careful.

up

a

technical

been

tonight.

do

something

stupid

to

get

sent

to

showers?

Speights,

his

first

foul.

And

they

were

hacking

Howard

intentionally.

to

and

Dwight

Howard

has

shown

up

finally

in

this

series.

Golden

State

has

only

gotten

three

threes

to

drop

so

far;

those

numbers

have

been

a

very

good

compass

for

what's

going

on

in

you

look

at

it

with

a

down

that's

a

smart

by

was

sending

to

picks

up

opponents

met

in

the

Western

Conference

Finals

a

seconds

to

here.

Beasley

is

in;

they'll

sit

Howard

to

avoid

exposing

him

to

any

more

fouls.

He's

hot

in

a

couple

of

ways,

emotionally

and

in

his

play.

The

bigger

guy

at

the

line.

He

becomes

such

a

huge

target

and

second

option

on

this

Rockets

team

when

he

comes

out

and

performs

like

that.

When

he

commands

that

presence

down

low

in

the

paint.

Those

interesting

numbers

right

there

with

no

fouls

to

give.

The

remainder

of

the

quarter,

the

drive

by

Finds

a

heavily

covered

that's

end

of

is

rocked

on

the

play

by

Motiejunas.

And

a

Rockets

foul.

Motiejunas

picks

up

his

third.

This

is

so

scary,

this

game,

if

you're

J.B.

Bickerstaff.

You've

played

well,

you

controlled

the

tempo,

you

controlled

the

game.

You're

making

your

threes.

But

yet,

as

we're

getting

ready

to

go

to

half,

the

Warriors

are

within

ten

points.

Yeah,

they

could

be

in

single

digits

with

one

more.

No

one

really

has

established

themselves

offensively

other

than

Speights

and

Klay

Thompson

at

the

offensive

end

for

Golden

State.

Now

you

have

a

chance

here

to

cut

it

to

single

digits.

He's

got

the

board.

There's

a

difference

of

about

six

seconds.

The

game

clock

and

shot

clock

are

winding

down

the

first

half

here

in

Houston.

Fouling

Josh

Smith

to

send

him

to

the

free

throw

line.

He

is

a

free

throw

shooter

during

the

regular

season.

Speights

just

picked

up

his

second.

And

we've

been

seeing

this

a

lot

throughout

the

playoffs,

especially

when

there's

a

bad

free

throw

shooter

on

the

team.

See,

This

is

going

to

allow

Golden

State

to

get

the

last

opportunity

in

this

half

because

of

the

shot

clock.

The

one

thing

in

game

two,

Right,

too,

If

you

go

back

to

it

and

look

at

all

the

free

throws

that

Klay

Thompson

was

taking.

It

stopped

the

clock,

stopped

the

transition

of

the

Rockets,

and

it

gave

a

chance

for

the

Warriors

to

set

their

defense.

And

that

really

has

not

been

a

story

tonight.

They've

not

had

the

chance

because

it's

been

so

free-flowing

both

ways.

And

that

pace

favors

the

Houston

Rockets,

especially

with

no

Steph

Curry.

They

have

become

the

better

team.

Big

shots

made

in

this

game

by

a

couple

players.

A

lot

of

interesting

numbers.

And

Kevin,

As

well

as

how

Houston

has

played,

he's

looking

at

the

points

in

the

paint.

Better

three-point

shooting

percentage

as

well

as

makes.

The

talk

is

all

about

Golden

State's

bench.

No

Curry

tonight.

Out

again

with

the

ankle

injury.

And

Marreese

Speights

has

been

fantastic.

Of

the

bench

points,

he

has

of

them,

He

came

in

as

instant

fire

from

behind

the

arc,

two

or

three

from

downtown.

Aggressive.

His

ability

to

stretch

the

floor

with

that

shooting.

Excuse

me,

Three

three-pointers

from

Speights.

And

he

just

put

the

Warriors

on

his

back

to

close

that

deficit

down

to

seven

for

Golden

State.

It

looks

like

things

are

a

little

bit

more

difficult

without

Curry

tonight.

Free

throws

during

that

stretch.

Barnes

is

short

from

outside.

Bogut

tries

to

save

it

out

of

bounds

with

the

ball.

Speights

has

already

got

a

career

playoff

high

of

And

there

he

is.

He

had

one

free

throw

in

career

playoff

games

entering

tonight.

Tonight

he's

got

three

of

them.

From

distance,

Beverley

on

top.

Motiejunas

is

there.

His

three.

Down!

Usually

you

would

beg

Motiejunas

to

take

that

shot.

That

was

close

to

being

over-and-back

by

the

Warriors.

Good

range

shot

by

Klay

Thompson

is

up

and

in.

Klay

has

five

of

in

minutes.

Thompson,

Green,

Bogut,

Livingston,

who

starts

for

Curry,

and

Barnes.

The

five

for

the

Warriors.

Here

comes

Harden.

He

had

in

the

first

half.

Motiejunas

fought

three.

He'll

slash

inside

on

Green

and

the

feed

to

Howard.

Those

are

the

kind

of

plays

they

were

making

in

the

first

half.

Standing

right

there.

The

stutter-stepping

Green.

The

drive

into

Motiejunas.

And

the

on

And

good

defensively

by

Motiejunas.

him

right

at

It's

a

is

arguing

with

that

there

was

a

kick.

It

was

the

on

I

know

of

no

such

thing.

And

he

kicked

like

Miller

used

to

kick.

I

was

just

reading

his

I'm

not

certain

about

that.

Really?

I

that's

what

I

didn't

Steve

it's

after

stretching

for

ten

minutes

in

They

were

stretching

his

They

said

he

fell

hard

on

it

and

was

experiencing

some

soreness.

They

were

stretching

his

working

on

and

on

he's

at

with

on

that

leg,

Ali.

Is

that

the

leg

that

he

hurt

in

you

watched?

It

was

his

knee

that

was

bothering

him.

Beasley

and

he's

consistent

for

J.B.

Bickerstaff

as

Barnes

gets

fouled,

taking

the

ball

to

the

rim,

and

Beverley

coming

back

in,

As

you

can

see.

Now

he's

been

evaluated

for

his

condition.

He'll

sit

back

in,

Foul

goes

on

Beasley.

He

picks

up

his

second

foul

for

the

Rockets.

Barnes

at

the

line.

You

mentioned

this

earlier,

He's

been

struggling

with

his

shot.

Three

of

six

from

the

field

tonight.

Maybe

he's

regained

some

of

that

in

a

game

without

Curry

for

the

Golden

State

Warriors.

Yeah,

I

just

wish

he

would

shoot

the

ball

more.

Only

six

field

goal

attempts.

I

know

he

was

fouled

on

that

last

possession

there,

but

maybe

he's

a

little

gun-shy

because

of

those

misses

throughout

the

first

two

games.

But

no

Curry.

In

my

opinion,

he

has

to

be

the

second

option

offensively

for

this

Warriors

team.

Warriors

from

the

stripe

of

of

They

double

Beasley.

It's

Beverley.

Now,

the

driving

Terry.

The

runner

won't

go.

He

fights

Barnes.

Does

Clint

Capela.

And

McAdoo

just

steamrolls

Beverley.

And

Barbosa

is

back

in

the

game

with

a

minute

gone

here

in

the

fourth;

Livingston

in

the

middle.

The

intensity

increases.

It's

Livingston

off

the

baseline.

Beautiful

shot.

Ball

movement,

patience,

and

waited

till

they

got

the

right

opportunity.

The

It's

a

four-point

game.

led

earlier

by

Screen

by

Switch

on

Now

it's

McAdoo

on

Harden.

He

smells

blood.

And

it

was

knocked

away

by

Barbosa

with

about

four

seconds

on

the

shot

clock.

As

soon

as

Harden

recognized

he

had

the

switch

with

McAdoo,

He

just

put

his

head

down

and

tried

to

get

all

the

way

to

the

cup.

Barbosa

picks

up

his

first.

The

Warriors

are

plus

on

the

free

throw

line.

Golden

State

has

done

a

good

job

of

keeping

Harden

off

the

free

line

since

that

first

quarter.

Remember,

He

had

six

in

the

first

and

only

three

since.

So

good

job

of

not

fouling

Harden.

Seven

the

And

then

he

stuck

with

this

guy.

He

seems

surprised

on

that.

I

am.

Here's

Beverly.

He

was

going

to

Get

the

And

he

throws

it

Harden

this.

You're

playing

for

your

playoff

lives

here.

I

should

say

I'm

surprised

by

Harden's

defense.

But

when

he

is

in

a

game

where

he

plays

with

defense,

It's

Washington.

Right?

It

is.

We

just

saw

our

case

there.

The

question

is,

Why

doesn't

he

do

that

all

the

time?

comes

More

Some

bring

up

Motiejunas

has

Only

on

the

Rockets

with

that

many.

Four

on

Bogut,

and

those

are

the

two

concerns

by

the

Shaun

who's

on

is

at

right

now.

Bogut,

here's

and

Livingston

with

the

The

shot

will

fall.

The

fake

drew

Harden

away,

cutting

the

Golden

State

Warriors

to

within

one

point.

Just

under

nine

to

play.

Early

on,

It

has

not

been

the

story

of

late,

But

early

on

it

was

Howard

as

they

built

that

lead.

Yeah,

He's

right

at

his

averages

in

this

series,

and

They've

done

a

good

job

of

establishing

him,

But

down

the

stretch

here

with

just

under

nine

minutes

left.

Where

is

the

scoring

going

to

come

from

for

Houston?

Do

they

have

enough

offense?

You

think?

Well,

You've

got

James

Harden,

He

was

the

second

leading

scorer

in

the

association

right

behind

Curry.

So

you

know

the

one

guy

who

can

get

to

the

free-throw

line

and

get

your

buckets

quickly.

The

Warriors'

defense

is

so

good,

Modi

Livingston

has

been

The

have

And

now

they

put

more

Oh,

Look

at

Why

is

everything

being

covered

differently?

No,

No.

Everything's

been

one-on-one

and

a

What

happened

to

the

it

When's

the

time

we've

seen

that?

This

was

so

good.

In

the

first

half.

Maybe

that

position

just

hasn't

been

there.

And

on

of

that,

I'm

if

with

maybe

instituting

a

hack

on

sending

him

to

At

And

you

talked

about

it.

Dwight

is

one

on

the

evening.

had

a

foul

to

give.

It's

the

Another

one

right

there

by

Clark.

Now

Howard

is

going

to

run

away.

People

here

are

obviously

unhappy

with

that

decision,

But

it's

the

right

decision.

You've

got

to

play

the

percentages

here.

You're

down

four

against

a

guy

who's

a

career

free-throw

shooter,

and

he's

one

of

four

on

the

evening.

Those

numbers.

of

When

you

move

I'm

going

to

say

the

trust

factor

Steve

Kerr

has

in

Ian

is

evident

as

they

are

trying

to

foul

Dwight

Howard

again.

And

they

it

goes.

There's

a

foul.

It

was

a

foul

on

the

play.

Looks

like

it's

on

Draymond

Green,

probably

going

to

send

Beasley

to

the

free-throw

line.

That's

a

fifth

foul

on

Green.

If

you're

Golden

State,

you

could

not

have

asked

for

a

better

shot.

shot

from

Livingston.

I

mean,

that's

just

a

three-footer,

and

he's

been

making

that

all

night,

all

series.

So

Beasley,

first

trip,

in

the

regular

season.

And

this

does

help

the

team.

We've

tied

it

at

with

seconds

to

go.

The

Rockets,

down

the

stretch,

have

missed

seven

of

their

last

nine.

I'm

surprised

J.B.

Bickerstaff

did

not

bring

back

Dwight

Howard.

And

here's

a

timeout

by

Steve

Kerr.

You've

got

to

get

Howard

back

in

the

ballgame

now,

just

for

the

defensive

end.

Rockets

have

missed

seven

of

their

last

nine

shots

down

the

stretch.

But

they

get

the

free

throws

to

lead

by

one.

seconds

to

go.

Rockets

lead

by

one.

If

I

was

J.B.

Bickerstaff,

I

would

bring

back

Dwight

Howard

for

the

defensive

end.

He's

a

guy

who's

going

to

be

a

rim

protector.

It

looks

like

he's

not

going

to

do

that.

The

problem

with

doing

that

is

if

you

come

up

with

the

stop,

you

know

the

Golden

State

Warriors

are

going

to

immediately

foul

him.

Second,

the

Warriors

have

not

shot

the

ball

well

from

downtown.

Six

of

It's

in

these

types

of

situations

where

the

great

equalizer

shows

its

ugly

head.

You've

got

to

guard

the

three-point

line

if

you're

Houston.

Rockets

are

fouled

again.

Leading

by

one.

Klay

Thompson.

Motiejunas

with

a

big

defensive

play

but

not

right

back

to

Iguodala.

Shot

clock

continues.

To

tip.

Thompson

against

Beasley.

A

three

and

a

rebound

by

Motiejunas,

who

has

just

collected

his

A

two-second

difference

between

the

game

clock

and

shot

clock.

Harden,

Motiejunas,

Trevor

Ariza,

Beasley.

Clark

was

there.

Poked

it

away,

Out

of

bounds.

They're

going

to

take

a

look

at

this.

A

lot

of

contact

over

there.

Did

the

ball

go

out

on

Beasley

or

Clark?

Clark

comes

over

with

the

deflection

here.

This

is

going

to

be

real

close.

Clark

obviously

dislodges

the

ball

from

Beasley's

hand.

But

does

it

hit

Beasley

last

as

it's

going

out

of

bounds?

Rockets

have

not

hit

from

the

field

in

over

three

minutes.

Now

remember,

The

call

on

the

floor

is

Rockets

basketball.

Here

comes

Clark

over.

Beasley's

right

thumb.

Is

that

the

last?

It

is

so

hard

to

tell.

Well,

you

can't

see.

And

you

can't

see

if

the

ball

changes

directions

as

it's

being

knocked

out

of

the

hand

by

Beasley.

Since

it's

so

close,

I

don't

know

if

you

can

overturn

that.

I

would

keep

this

Houston

basketball.

Replays

under

the

monitor

in

Secaucus,

New

Jersey.

And

over.

They're

waiting

to

see

the

replays

of

Scott

Foster

as

he's

on

the

headset.

Communication

with

the

NBA

officiating

center.

Kevin,

You

may

be

right.

You're

talking

about

going

off

the

thumb

of

Michael

Beasley.

Watch

when

the

ball

leaves

his

hand.

It's

interesting.

Steve

Kerr,

While

all

this

is

happening,

It's

like

an

extra

timeout.

Kerr's

got

his

team

huddled

over

there

and

is

mapping

out

plays.

And

on

the

Rockets'

side,

They're

just

sitting

and

looking

at

the

scoreboard

and

the

replays.

Well,

They're

assuming

that

the

ball

is

theirs.

They're

going

to

retain

possession.

Here's

a

deflection

by

Clark.

I

mean,

It's

hard

to

call.

I

think,

Since

it's

so

hard,

You've

got

to

give

it

a

Houston

ball.

Yeah.

I

don't

think

there

was

the

kind

of

visual

evidence

that

they'd

overturn

it.

You've

got

to

keep

that

Houston

ball.

Scott

Foster,

He

was

there

visiting

with

the

folks

in

Secaucus.

And

so,

shot

clock,

on

the

game

clock,

Fourth

quarter.

With

a

one-point

lead

for

the

Rockets;

they

had

led

earlier

by

and

the

Warriors

have

continued

to

chisel

away

at

that

lead.

Spencer

takes

a

one-point

lead

and

Houston

takes

a

timeout.

So

now,

Houston,

Houston

is

out

of

timeouts.

Down

two

games

to

none.

Leading

by

one

in

Houston

on

TNT,

Houston

is

out

of

timeout.

Understanding

that,

It's

important

that

you

set

good,

Solid

screens.

You

can't

move

your

hip.

And

if

you're

a

guard

like

Jason

Terry

or

James

Harden,

you've

got

to

do

a

good

job

of

V-cutting

and

making

yourself

big

to

get

the

basketball.

And

if

you're

Golden

State,

you

go

for

one

hard

trap

here.

If

you

can't

just

Lob

the

ball,

Then

you

foul.

They're

looking

for

the

inbound

now

on

cover.

Looks

for

Beasley.

Shot

on

the

play.

Here

comes

Livingston.

Knocked

away

by

Harden.

No

timeouts

for

Houston.

Livingston

knocked

it

away.

And

here

comes

Harden.

One-point

Golden

State

lead.

Harden

against

the

backpedal.

He

just

put

in

his

point.

And

got

away

with

an

offensive

foul,

a

push-off

against

Andre

Iguodala

right

there.

Step

back.

Torture

chamber.

I

mean,

This

is

what

scores

do,

And

this

is

what

the

playoffs

are

all

about.

Highlight

moments.

James

Harden.

His

Rockets

had

just

given

up

the

lead.

We

talked

about

Houston.

No

timeouts.

You

had

to

set

good

screens,

good

V-cuts.

Here's

a

high

pass

over

the

head

of

Beasley.

Livingston

comes

up

with

the

steal.

Finds

Clark

with

the

go-ahead

bucket.

And

at

the

other

end,

No

timeouts

for

Houston.

James

Harden.

The

second-leading

scorer

in

the

association,

finds

a

way

to

put

the

Rockets

up

by

one.

The

Rockets

have

a

foul

to

give.

We've

had

four

lead

changes

in

the

last

seconds.

Thompson

will

inbound.

Spates

has

come

in

for

Clark.

Howard

is

coming

for

Terry.

Thompson

to

inbound.

A

reasonable

defender

on

the

inbound.

Three.

Rockets

are

going

to

win

it.

Mark

Green

had

made

up

his

mind

as

soon

as

the

ball

was

going

to

get

to

him

and

started

to

go

before

he

secured

the

Picked
