Golden State lost two close ones in Houston and that makes this a must-win for the Warriors, who shot 45.4 percent in the two games and figure to improve on that at home. Stephen Curry is only 12-of-46 and Klay Thompson just 8-of-26 from three-point range and the teams still are tied in the series with the Warriors almost pulling out a win on the road. Kevin Durant has done his part by averaging 36 points, but he missed a crucial shot near the end on Monday. Curry still finished with 30 points on 4-of-14 overall shooting. As we saw last night, the home team in Game 5s are a strong bet in the history of the NBA playoffs, so lay the points and play the Warriors.
