No Iguodala, no problem, so it seemed, as the Warriors were able to emerge victorious, pulling away at the end after a tight battle to win 93-85. The Rockets had several chances to take the lead late in the fourth but couldn’t get over the hump.
Harden was cooking early with 16 first-half points but managed to drop only six for the rest of the game.
Kevin Durant was clearly the game’s MVP, scoring a game-high 26 points. Curry wasn’t on fire in this one, but he was still able to drop 19.
Kevon Looney started at center and was able to pull down 10 rebounds. Zaza Pachulia also contributed eight points and nine boards off the bench.
Clint Capela was the big bright spot for H-Town, with 16 points and 15 rebounds.
Box score
It’s only a matter of time now, so it seems, for the Warriors to head back to the NBA Finals.
