#2 Curry was 12 for 19 from the floor and hit five crucial of nine attempts for three pointers and got some acrobatic shots that even amazed his teammates.

#3 Game 2 is on deck Wednesday night. The Rockets are looking to get some scoring production from Albert Sengun who lead with 26 points in game 1 but their going to need a lot more from Fred VanVleet and Dillion Brooks if they plan to get by Golden State. David what’s your thoughts on game 2?

#2 The Warriors were having big success on this last road trip with wins in Washington, New York and Toronto before hitting that brick wall in Boston on Sunday. Was it a matter of the Celtics lying in wait for Golden State and just lit them up with a great offensive game plan or the Warriors were exhausted from little sleep playing four games in six days on the road?

#3 The Warriors host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at Golden State for a 7:00pm PT tip. The Bucks are in first place in the Eastern Conference at 41-21. The Bucks have won eight out of their last ten games.

#2 The Warriors behind for much of Monday night’s game 4 in San Francisco but in the final minute Stephen Curry was fouled twice and connected for two free throws each time and the Warriors got daylight and put away the game by four points.

#3 Warrior head coach Steve Kerr continues to quarantine after going into Covid 19 protocols on Monday and did not make the trip to Memphis as assistant coach Mike Brown will be at the helm for game 5 tonight. From Kerr’s point of view it’s got to be driving him up the wall having to sit out a first round game 5.
