West Conf. Finals - Game 3: Houston Rockets 85-126 Golden State Warriors - Warriors' Player Ratings

Kevon Looney - 7.5/10

Kevon Looney

Stat line: 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, +12

It's been an incredible postseason for Kevon Looney. From hardly being a regular in the team's rotation during the season, he's become a staple go-to-guy off the bench for them in the Playoffs. He's the first guy of the team's bench, more often than not, for Iguodala to provide Draymond some respite from playing the small-ball center.

In almost every game these Playoffs, he's been effective in the minutes he has received. He faced a little bit of foul trouble in this game, forcing Kerr to give a few of his minutes to rookie Jordan Bell.

Nick Young - 7/10

Nick Young

Stat line: 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal

As I mentioned earlier, that it shouldn't come as a surprise that Nick Young gets decent minutes in this series. He's an offense first player and he has the general length to play any spot from 1-3 on the any of the team's small-ball line-ups.

He isn't there for any quarter-changing performance but the team looks to him for instant offense in his limited minutes. Eg: - Young knocked down a 3 to close the first quarter, capping off a Warriors' 11-0 run to end the period. It was basically that run that got the Warriors their initial separation.

If he goes off, he goes off but all the Warriors need from him are some filler buckets when their key stars are resting. Averaging 6.6 for the series so far, he's sort of doing just that.
