Rockets going at Warriors’ Stephen Curry on defense — and that’s OK
HOUSTON — As they mapped out the game plan for their Western Conference finals matchup with the Warriors, the Rockets stared down a tricky question: How do you attack a team with seemingly no glaring weaknesses?
It came as no surprise to Golden State head coach Steve Kerr that Houston repeatedly went after Stephen Curry on pick-and-rolls in Game 1 on Monday. Though the two-time MVP has made significant strides in recent years, Curry is still the worst defender of the “Hamptons 5” lineup — Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Curry — that Kerr has started in the past three games.
