Houston at Golden State 3:30 ET
Rockets (+) over Warriors- Well, now that Kobe is gone all the light will shine on defending NBA Champion Golden State who set a new standard for most wins this season while the disappointing Rockets had to win their final three games to end at 41-41 and win the tie-breaker over Utah. The Warriors I might add are the only team in NBA history to go the entire season and not lose two straight. Houston has had a tumultuous year that saw coach Kevin McHale get fire in the third week of the season. The Rockets lost in the West Finals to Golden State last year and knows what it take to win here. Take HOUSTON!
