West Conf. Finals - Game 1: Golden State Warriors 119 - 106 Houston Rockets - Rockets' Player Ratings

Eric Gordon - 7/10

Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets - Game One

Stat line: 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 6-of-13 from the field, 3-of-7 on threes

The former Pelicans starter had not been having a great postseason, but he made some amends with his showing during this game. He was averaging in the low 30s in both field goal percentage as well as 3-pointers before this game, but this showing will bump up both of his percentages significantly.

Gordon played 33 minutes of the game and scored 15 points. He was able to take the ball inside the paint and finish on a couple of occasions, and he also found his range with a deep three early on in the 4th quarter in a sequence when Curry airballed a similar shot from way downtown himself.

Gordon defended adequately on switches, and he wasn't a victim of the Warriors' find-the-mismatch gameplan.
