Well played. Harden was at his usual and they were able to defend homecourt this time. Hopefully they bring the momentum to game 3 though we all know how difficult it would be since the warriors will be playing at home. I'm rooting for a different finals encounter this time

Actually this is the kind of game that I am expecting from both teams, both going over 100 points but what I am not expecting is the 22 point margin. I am not sure if GSW is over confident and they didn't expect Houston will make a come back or they just want to bring the game to their turf.

If you see the first round and the second round match up of GSW, in every road game they are losing one and they are winning one game then they will win 2 games in their home. If this will happen again against Rockets, there is a high chance that GSW will go again in the finals. GSW I think didn't over confident but they I think they just let the Rockets win although this is just my opinion. If you see Steve Kerr, he is sitting only and he is calm because he believe in his teammates. Maybe they lose in the game because they have done it with purpose. If GSW will pull a win in Games 3 & 4. it will be 4-peat for them for sure.

I don't think that coaches "intentionally" wants to lose a game, not in playoffs. I thinks its more of like a losing cause already and perhaps Kerr has other plans in mind. He did try to fight though but Houston is too much specially when their 3's are going in. They still have the homecourt advantage that's why they can afford to lose this one. Players will be well rested going on the next game and it will be on their side. If by chance they win the next 2 games in their home court then its game over.
