The Warriors didn't give the Chase Center crowd much to cheer about during their Game 6 loss, and Rockets wing Amen Thompson liked it that way.

He's not. Nobody is. Curry gave Thompson, who is already probably the best defender in the league not named Victor Wembanyama, a quick reality check with 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting in Game 1. He had 36 in Game 3 with Houston's entire defense chasing him in the absence of Jimmy Butler .

The Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets in two consecutive games to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in their highly anticipated first-round matchup
