So mostly as expected, the Golden State Warriors after losing in Game 2 by 22 points, punched right back and won Game 3 convincingly - 41 points. That's the biggest margin of victory in Warriors' postseason history and on the flip side, it's the worst loss in the Houston Rockets' Playoff history.
This game also saw the Warriors' extend their home Playoff win streak to 16, an NBA record as they surpassed the 1990-91 Chicago Bulls. That's not it, this blowout win was also the first in this postseason that all Warriors' starters had scored in double figures.
Is this James Harden and the Rockets collapsing again when it matters or are the Warriors just too good? Either way, the Warriors winning by 40 in Oracle Arena on a Sunday created just too much noise and NBA Twitter didn't disappoint with its reactions.
