West Conf. Finals - Game 6: Houston Rockets 86-115 Golden State Warriors - 5 Talking Points

Splash brothers explode as the real Warriors' offense reappears

Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry combined for 64 points in Game 6

In their two losses in Games 4 & 5, the Warriors allowed the Rockets to dictate the pace of the game. As everything slowed down, Golden State went more to Kevin Durant isolation plays, which the Rockets could respond to by switching everything on the weak side. Thus, negating all the Warriors' back cut and split cut actions.

Over those two games, the Warriors averaged 93 points and 16 assists which are way off their usual offensive numbers.

They made amends in Game 6.

Their shots might not have been falling in the first half but they were playing Warriors basketball by assists on 13 of their 20 field goals at halftime. They still had 8 turnovers, which too much for one half but they took care of that as well in the third quarter where they assisted on 6 of their 11 field goals with just 1 turnover.
