The Golden State Warriors got their signature third-quarter run. They had a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, at home. Everything seemed in place for their 17th consecutive playoff victory in Oakland. It was a stunning loss for the Warriors, who seemed to be following the formula that had led to so much of their success over the last four seasons. They let a 12-0 run to start the game, and a 34-17 third quarter, go to waste, and the Rockets beat them with a mix of intensity, execution, and some attitude.
