Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets - Game Five

Defending champions Golden State Warriors wilted like a flower out of season for the second game in a row, giving up a 3-2 lead to the Houston Rockets after losing at the Toyota Center 94-98. They held a 72-71 lead heading into the 4th quarter, but Chris Paul was in no mood to miss the NBA Finals this time around.

He scored 7 points and dished out 2 assists while playing spectacular defense on Stephen Curry, who was once again off target tonight. Kevin Durant endured another scoreless 4th quarter, and he was the subject of some spectacular rants by Twitterati.

Reactions to the game ranged from the hilarious to the concerned ones, as Chris Paul went off late in the game with what appeared like a pulled hamstring. However, most of Twitter went OFF on the Warriors and their fans following their loss.
