Houston defeat Golden State to claim Game 3
Following back to back home wins, Golden State headed to Houston last night looking to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. However, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson combined to miss 26 of their 39 shots, and James Harden's 41 points proved enough to secure the Rockets a 126-121 OT win.
Both Splash Brothers struggled throughout, and Curry notably missed both an uncontested layup and a dunk in the closing stages. Kevin Durant managed to hit 46 points in 50 minutes, and Draymond Green recorded a triple-double, although the form of Curry and Thompson is a major concern for Steve Kerr as the series heads into Game 4.
