History Remains Strongly On The Side Of The Warriors
The Western Conference Finals return to Oakland Wednesday night, after the Rockets avoided a Warriors sweep, claiming a 128-115 victory in Game 4 on Monday. James Harden put together a great performance in the series-extending game, scoring 45 points for Houston. During Game 4, 2015 NBA MVP Stephen Curry suffered a very scary and dangerous fall, but luckily was not seriously injured. He would later return to the contest.
Amid falling down 0-3, the Rockets are attempting to overcome a number of tall tasks. Even though Houston came back from down 3-1 to the Clippers, during the West semifinals, no team in NBA history has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit. Also, including the postseason, the Warriors own a ridiculous 45-3 record at Oracle Arena this season. The Rockets would have to win Game 5 and a possible Game 7 in Oakland, in order to miraculously win the series.
If the Warriors are victorious on Wednesday, Golden State would reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1975, with LeBron James and the Cavaliers waiting in the wings.
