Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors tipoff for Game 2 of their best-of-seven Western Conference Finals series live from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.
Houston looks to tie the series up before it shifts to Texas for the first time while Golden State hopes to take a 2-0 series lead by shoring up their home court.
The Warriors defeated the Rockets 110-106 in Game 1 of this series on Tuesday to take a 1-0 series lead.

Houston has been shorthanded a lot throughout the season and now they face uncertainty with Dwight Howard as he is questionable for Game 2 due to a sprained knee.
"We've been through it this year," James Harden said via ESPN. "Those guys are ready to come in and contribute. Hopefully, big fella can get his body healthy and can go out there and help us."
Harden paced the Rockets with 28 points, nine assists and four steals in Game 1 while Howard had a team-high 13 rebounds.
Howard, who missed 41 contests in the regular season due to a knee injury, had a hard time freeing himself from 6-foot-7 Draymond Green during Tuesday's game.
"It's always fun guarding those bigger guys. It's a challenge and I enjoy challenges," Green, who had a club-best 12 rebounds and eight assists in Game 1, told ESPN. "On the offensive end, when you try to keep your big in against our small lineup, it's rough."
Stephen Curry (game-high 34 points) and Klay Thompson (15 points) paced Golden State in the victory and led a rally from 16 points down in the second quarter en route to the Game 1 triumph.
The Rockets look to even things up while the Warriors hope to jump out to a commanding 2-0 series lead when the lights come up tonight at Oracle Arena in California.
