#2 Warriors crumble in the clutch again
It's puzzling how a high powered offense like that of Golden State can botch it so badly late in back to back games. Kevin Durant had just 2 points in the 4th quarter and although Steph Curry had 7, none of them came in the last 4 minutes of the game.
A late flurry from Draymond Green was the only reason why Golden State even had a shot at winning this one. It wasn't even as if Houston were that brilliant defensively that Curry and KD just couldn't go off, they just missed wide open shots. Houston did do a good job of defending KD in the post, however.

This one wasn't as bad as the 4th quarter in Game 4 when they only scored 12 points though, but it's quite difficult to be as bad as they were in that one.
Who lets Quinn Cook of all people take arguably the most important shot of the game anyway?
