My recap for the loss at ESPN:
MVP: Monta Ellis did basically anything he wanted, scoring 33 points on 13-for-23 shooting. No one on the Rockets seemed to have a chance. He tossed in seven assists as well.
Defining moment: With less than a minute remaining, and the Warriors’ lead down to six, Monta Ellis floated in a runner with Kyle Lowry draped all over him. That shot told the tale of this one.
That was … unfamiliar: Rockets head coach Kevin McHale appeared on the sidelines with a freshly grown, well groomed goatee. No word yet if the new look is a long-term solution.
