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

The rest of the bench

Nick Young - 7/10

Nick Young

Stat line: 9 points, 1 rebounds, 3-of-5 shooting (3-of-5 on 3s) in 15 minutes

Talk about playing your role.

Nick Young only played 15 minutes but he knocked down 3 3s in that time, punishing the Rockets for playing off of him. He played a role in the team's season series with Houston so he was bound to get minutes. He didn't play a lot in the second half but the team probably didn't need him. comfortably staying ahead of the Rockets by double-digit points.

Shaun Livingston

Stat line: 7 points, 5 rebounds on 3-of-5 shooting, 1-1 on FT's in 14 minutes

Both Young and Livingston hardly got any time in the second half but that's natural towards the business end of the Playoffs. Livingston, too, simply played his role in the minutes he got and that's about the best you can expect from your role players on a championship team.

David West - Unrated

For just 4 minutes of action, West had quite the box score of 2 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebounds but unfortunately, it's only the action he saw. Far too less to rate.
