Golden State Warriors Form
Golden State booked their spot in the postseason by going 48-34 in the regular season and successfully negotiating the Play-In Tournament.
The Warriors ended March with back-to-back wins on the road, beating New Orleans 111-95 and San Antonio 148-106, and began April with two more road wins, beating Memphis 134-125 in Memphis and the Los Angeles Lakers 123-116.
They cooled off during the run-in, first sandwiching a 133-95 win over Phoenix with a 106-96 defeat to Houston and a 114-111 loss to San Antonio.
Golden State then beat Portland 103-86, before closing out the regular season with a 124-119 defeat to the LA Clippers in overtime.
The Warriors responded with a 121-116 win over Memphis in the Play-In, and they backed that up in Game 1 of his series as they won 95-85 in Houston.
Houston Rockets Form
Houston clinched their place in the postseason by putting together a 52-30 record that secured second place in the Western Conference standings.
The Rockets ended the season on a three-game losing run, but a run of 15 wins in the 17 games prior to that earned them the number two seeding.
That great run began with a nine-game win streak and also featured two more three-game winning runs.
Houston ended the regular season on a three-game slide though as they lost 134-117 at the LA Clippers and 140-109 at the Los Angeles Lakers, before returning home for a 126-111 defeat to Denver.
The Rockets’ slump then reached four games in the series opener against Golden State, as they were beaten 95-85 at home.
Verdict
Golden State’s experience showed in Game 1 and this combination of Curry and Butler has made them a serious threat.
Winning twice in Houston will be difficult, but after what we saw in the series-opener we like the Warriors with the free buckets.
