Klay Thompson held down the fort for Golden State to start, pouring in 27 points on seven made three-pointers.
James Harden and Chris Paul played well. The duo combined for 62 points on 22-of-44 shooting in Houston’s loss. But some missed free throws and a late game scoring drought spelled the end for the Rockets.
“This one’s going to leave a mark,” said Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni.
The Warriors will face the either the Denver Nuggets or Portland Trail Blazers, who are competing in a Game 7 on Sunday.
