Rockets vs. Warriors Game 5 Preview

The Western Conference Final series is tied 2-2 after the defending NBA champion Warriors lost 95-92 at home in Game 4 on Tuesday, despite Stephen Curry putting on a stellar performance, particularly in the third quarter.

According to the Warriors’ website, the team finished with a season-low 14 assists on Tuesday night, despite leading the NBA in this category for a long time. As of late Wednesday, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala have been listed as questionable for Game 5 due to knee and leg injuries, respectively. Iguodala missed Tuesday’s loss, while Thompson headed to the locker room in the second quarter after limping for a while.

The Rockets have not listed any injured players.
