NBA Playoffs: Steph Curry leads Golden State Warriors to Game 1 win and more from Sunday’s action

Sunday’s four-game lineup was headlined by Steph Curry leading the No. 7 seeded Golden State to a 95-85 Game 1 road win over the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets.

After a Saturday full of multiple close games, the Sunday slate delved into more of the decidedly not-so close contests. The four-game lineup was headlined by Stephen Curry and No. 7 seeded Golden State taking on the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center on Sunday night, where the two-time MVP scored a game-high 31 points to lead the Warriors to a 95-85 Game 1 win. The game looked like a sure-fire blowout halfway through the third quarter with Golden State up by 23 points, but the young Houston squad cut the deficit to nine heading into the final frame and got the lead down to as low as four with just over five minutes remaining. After a Curry three-pointer put the Warriors up by seven points, a few minutes later, an Amen Thompson’s basket would yet again make it a four-point game. However, Golden State forward Moses Moody hit his only triple of the game, leading to a 7-0 run to close out Game 1. After the contest, Curry said the advantage of experience come playoff time comes in the form of “not getting rattled.”
