Rockets Escape Bay Area Showdown with Nail-Biting 117-116 Victory—What Happened in the Final Seconds Will Shock You!
Sill there were a few seconds left, but Golden State was out of timeouts. If you’ve watched enough of these games, you have a healthy fear of what might come next. Curry makes a miracle heave, also falls down, just in case, and then does a little dance on the ground. Reggie Miller squeals in delight. Etc.
But no. It wasn’t a good look, there was no possible foul, and Curry just missed from 30ft. The game was over. The Narrative was defeated, somehow. The Rockets won.
There’s more to talk about on this one, but not at 2am for me. That was the defining moment of this game, despite an excellent game from Kevin Durant overall (late, painful turnovers aside), Jabari Smith, and very good games from Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun.
Let’s take this win and be happy. It’s not what I expected, but it’s definitely what I hoped for when I signed up to write up this game.
