1st Quarter

The Rockets got off to a fast start again in Game 5. No, this time it didn’t involve a 45 point explosion, but Dwight Howard was carrying the load. He scored six points early on and was drawing a lot of fouls. The Warriors came out with some energy, but they were cold from the field. Unfortunately, turnovers were also a problem. With about six minutes left in the quarter, the Rockets had a 9-8 lead. James Harden got going a little bit and scored five straight points. The Warriors just could not get it going offensively and Houston was in charge. The Warriors were down six, until Curry hit a triple to get it down to three. Two Harden free throws closed out the quarter and the Warriors trailed 22-17.

Barnes hit another bucket after a Houston timeout and the lead was now 15. You knew the Rockets were not going to give up.
