Sloppy game.
Klay threw a very weak pass out of a double team.
GS was lucky Gordon stumbled and couldn't corral it and Looney saved it in the corner. Nearly a turnover up 3 with 8 secs left.
Anyone notice that Chris Paul has aged 3 years between the regular season and the playoffs? Actually he had a somewhat down season, but a lot was masked by Hardon doing everything on offense. CP3 turned 34 a few days ago. Fairly old for a PG.
Never was Mr. Post-Season, which will hurt his legacy.
Dray's 6th foul was awful. A dumb reach in as the help defender, when Klay had Gordon bottled up fairly well. Just under the 1:30 mark. Stopped the clock. Gave HOU 2 FT's/Pts. And with Durant out, Green can't exit on a dumb foul like that. I thought the Tech Dray got after taking a charge with 5 fouls was garbage. Refs called things tight all 4Q, which was annoying/boring.
The Tech revved Dray up and then he hit a key 3 pointer, before dumbly fouling out.
I thought Looney was the unsung hero. He got boards and kept possessions alive. had a terrific late block on CP3, just prior to Dray's foul-out. Saved the ball in the corner with 8 secs left and fed Klay to seal the game. Good effort and impact. Jerebko was ineffective.
Klay, Dray & Scurry all played big minutes (45, 40, 44 respectively). This is a thin GSW team. Better hope KD can play the rest of this series.
Harden and MotherTucker played 45 mins each. Harden seemed kind of quiet 4Q. One late possession, harden took his time crossing midcourt, when HOU was running a Chris Paul set.
Awful Rivers had a bad outing.
