On April 21, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 97-96, on Game 3 of Round 1 in The Playoffs.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Stephen Curry, star of Golden Gate, out for an ankle injury, the Warriors suffered a one point loss.
"It was what we planned" said head coach of the Rockets, "we were playing with a purpose", after tonight's home game. Even though they lost the last 2 games of the 7 game series, the Rockets pushed through, to only give the ball to James Harden. "I missed a lot of easy shots.." Harden said at a press conference after game 3, with an outstanding 35 point game Harden still gives credits to his team saying, "...total team effort."
"It wasn't enough, we had too many mistakes throughout the course of the game.." said Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors. With having a lot of outstanding individual performances, the loss of not having Curry on the court with the team was evident. "We have to play better as a team whether Steph is here or not..." continued Kerr, "...we should perform at a high level." Since missing their right hand man, the Warriors did not have a very great night, including lots of turn overs, shot missed, and basketballs dropped.
"We've got to eliminate some of the mistakes we made." says Kerr as his finishing statement. The Rockets walked of the court with a win under the belt, as the Warriors went on to practice. It has been predicted that Steph Curry should return for game 4, if pain is completely gone.
This reads more like a news story than a column I am afraid. Plus when you quote a statement from another source, you need to indicate the source so instead of said you should be said Steve Kerr told the [name of paper]. Since you didn't interview the coaches, you can't make it seem as if you did. 87
