Much to discuss once again a absolute classic quadruple overtime game

We're gonna discuss that actually at the end so we can really go through possession by possession and break down

What happened but for people who aren't interested in that level of granular detail?

That's why we put that game at the end. Let's start with the game that just concluded though here

Houston keeping their season alive against Golden State getting it to 2-1 and I think two things stick out to me here

There's a lot of themes from this game. One is that James Harden had I think his first really good game in this series

And the second is that stuff Curry was awful Curry was awful and and for me the the overarching take of this game

Was that Houston deserved to win?

I thought they outplayed the Warriors significantly in the first three quarters

Durant's run at the beginning of the fourth really brought them back in and now once you get down to like the final minute

And we'll talk about that in a little bit. I thought that the dynamic shifted

But I thought Houston like that a lot of guys really step up Harden 41 points 14 to 32

5 to 13 from 3 made all of his free throws but Eric Gordon

I mean he was really one of the engines that helped when they were trying to get things going

I liked his drive game personally

I also love the aesthetic of his drive game

He just worked hard gets the basket but also 7 to 14 from 3

So he had 30 points on 21 shooting possessions in 45 minutes of action

Yeah big minute toles for everyone in this one KDE 50 minutes and he only sat for I think about a minute 30 in the second half

And really I mean Houston controlled this throughout it looked like it was gonna go poorly for them at first

The Golden State led 18 to 11 at the first TV timeout when everyone was completely exhausted

It didn't come until like 5 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter
