The Warriors, thus, earned their ticket to the championship playoff for the fourth consecutive seasons opposite the Eastern Conference titlist Cleveland Cavaliers in as many times up, likewise. Stephen Curry and the Warriors start their best-of-seven title series against LeBron James and the Cavaliers on Thursday (Friday Manila time) at Golden State’s home turf Oracle Arena. That the Rockets, indeed, fell to the Warriors’ stonewall defense was evident in their 7-of-44 performance from the three-point line, or nearly 16 percent. The Warriors went 16-of-39 from the parking lot with Curry, who finished with 27 points, going 7-of-15 from behind the arc himself—matching the entire Rockets team total. A feat duplicated by the Warriors and the Cavaliers Sunday night at TD Garden in Boston.
