MVP runner-up James Harden had a chance to be the hero at the end of the game, but it was league MVP Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s defense late that prevented Harden from getting a shot off in the final seconds of the Warriors’ 99-98 Game 2 win over the Houston Rockets Thursday night.
This one had déjà vu written all over it. Houston jumped out to an early double-digit lead in the first two quarters, and then they would get sloppy, careless, and relinquish their lead to the Clippers. Then, LA would open up a double-digit lead and not look back in winning not one, but two games on the road, and basically all but dashing the hopes of the Houston Rockets of further advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Only this time, the Rockets wrote a different ending to the story.
