Q3: JaVale And Draymond Deny Rockets
James Harden started the Rockets with a three, but Klay Thompson answered with two straight buckets.
After a Patrick Beverley triple, Thompson splashed a three as Matt Barnes delivered a physical screen on Harden, sending Harden to the floor clutching his left shoulder.
The Rockets took a timeout, now up just 67-63 with 9:56 remaining, and Harden played on.

Draymond Green stripped a Harden drive, leading to free throws by Matt Barnes on the break as Thompson surprisingly passed up an open three in transition.
One possession later, Curry hit a three from the right wing on the catch after McGee swatted Harden and Klay led the break:

Steph drove in for a layup on the ATO…

Draymond disrupted Lou Williams on the next sequence, but missed a three at the other end, then after Harden dribbled past James McAdoo on a switch, Green was there again to mess up another shot, and Curry drew a foul on Harrell on another drive, tying the game at 83-83 heading into the final frame.
