James Harden had a big Game 1 going for 41 points and Chris Paul chimed in with 23 points and also had 11 rebounds. Houston could use some help on the inside, as in Game 1 Clint Capela was the only frontcourt player that went for double figures with 12 points.
In Game 1 The Warriors were playing their first road Game 1 since the 2014 season and after being down nine early they tied the score at the half.
The Rockets got to within four in the beginning of the 4th period, but then gave up a 13-4 run and it was never close after that.
Houston allowed the Warriors to take too many open 3-pointers and they have to pressure Golden State on the perimeter in this game.
