Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET the No. 1 seed Golden State Warriors will try to put the Houston Rockets to sleep in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, which can be live streamed free by clicking this link or watching on ESPN. Warriors fans can listen to the radio broadcast on KNBR 680, while Rockets fans may do likewise on Sports Talk 790.
Golden State may have a 3-1 series lead over the Rockets, but the Los Angeles Clippers would advise them to not rest on their laurels. The Rockets have shown a tendency to play their best when cornered this postseason, and Rockets guard James Harden already showed that with a postseason career-high 45 points in Game 4. The Warriors know a loss tonight could create a powerful snowball effect, and want to end the series immediately.
"We just don't want to come back to Houston," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "It's not going to be easy. They are here for a reason. We have to come and play with more intensity and play together and we'll win the game."
The Warriors will have Stephen Curry available for his normal workload after he took a hard spill trying to block a shot by Trevor Ariza. "It could have been a lot worse," Curry said.
The Rockets were almost without center Dwight Howard for this game after he committed the flagrant foul of hitting Warriors center Andrew Bogut in the face during Game 4. He has averaged 13.5 points and 14 rebounds in the Western Conference Finals.
