The Houston Rockets regained home court advantage in the NBA Western Conference Finals with a thrilling 95-92 win. The Rockets seduced the Warriors into an isolation game that they are simply better at with James Harden and Chris Paul. Most telling was with the Warriors leading 82-70 early in the fourth quarter, they never assisted on another basket the rest of the way. They have averaged an NBA best, assisting on 68.5% of all hoops this season. I think the Warriors get back into character tonight, and move the ball. Moreover, their 16 turnovers in Game 4, and below 40% shooting were the bottom for Golden State. Considering the fact that they played poorly, shot poorly, didn't take care of the ball, and still lost by just three points on the road, and could have tied the game on a Curry three-point shot at the buzzer that was just short says a lot. Houston spent a ton of energy on defense, and may not have enough gas in the tank for this one. Play on Golden State.
