James Harden wasn’t much better, missing 11 of his 13 threes (32 points, six rebounds, six assists in all) while Gordon missed 10 of 12.

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala has been ruled out for Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.
“We’ve been through a lot with this team”, Warriors guard Klay Thompson said.
Houston scored only 25 points in the second half of Game 6 and 28 in the second half of Game 7. We knew we had a great shot in the second half, we just stuck together, moved the ball, cut our turnovers down and made them take tough shots. It was by design and I’m very proud of the front office, the coaching staff, players, everything, everybody. “We played hard, though, we fought hard”.
It also helped that the shorthanded Rockets – playing without Chris Paul – were completely exhausted with no chance of serious rest looming for their taxed starters in the second half.

After Terry Rozier stole a pass from James, the Celtics point guard raced up the court and, despite having a three-on-one situation, attempted to dunk on the Cavs superstar.
That sentiment rang especially true throughout the postseason, with the Indiana Pacers almost taking a 3-1 lead in the opening round before some clutch 3-point shooting from Korver in Game 4 saved the season.
“We obviously know what LeBron’s capable of”, Curry said shortly after the Warriors’ Game 7 win at Houston ended.
The mysterious injury has been labelled a “left lateral leg contusion” by Warriors medical staff, but last night coach Kerr suggested the problem was continuing to trouble the 34-year-old.
The Warriors are scheduled to host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 on Thursday, the fourth straight Finals matchup between the two teams. We’ve got the right formula. We just didn’t have the same energy that we had in the first half or the pace.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: The Golden State Warriors will play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the best-of-seven NBA Finals.
The Warriors trailed by as many as 17 points in the first half Saturday night before using a splendid second half to roll to a 115-86 victory.

Starting at 10 a.m. there will be exclusive pre-sale events before going on sale to the general public at 6 p.m. It’s just, I think, devastating to the players, to me, to all the fans of Houston. Houston went 47-35 on the way to the 1995 title; to find another champion who was worse, go back to Washington in 1978 when the Bullets were a mere 44-38.
