The Golden State Warriors are set to take on the Houston Rockets in game two of their round one playoff series.

The Warriors took game one in a double-digit 95-85 victory that initially started as a Rockets lead in the first quarter, but the Warriors were able to hold the Rockets scoreless for nearly four minutes from near the end of the second quarter. This helped propel the Warriors to a 23-point lead in the third.

The Rockets were able to fight their way back to a three-point game in the fourth, but Golden State held on to their lead with some timely shots. Steph Curry led the way for the Warriors and helped keep the ship afloat with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal on 63/56/100 shooting splits.

With the game one victory, the Warriors have taken control of home court advantage in this series, but a win on Wednesday could help build massive amounts of momentum for games three and four back in the Chase Center in front of the hometown fans.
