what they were going to accomplish got into their heads in the locker room. they couldn't hit any shots after that. james harden trying to reach the finals for the first time and he was trying to do it without chris paul, who was out with a hamstring injury. and the rockets led by 11 at the half. and then they lost it. they missed a playoff record 27-straight three-pointers after that break. golden state stuck together. they could not miss. kevin durant and steph curry hitting big shot after big shot. the warriors took that 11-point deficit, turned it into a seven-point lead going into the fourth. so with the 101-92 win, the warriors earn a date with the finals. lebron james and the cavaliers for the fourth-straight season. curry wasn't looking ahead, though, post game. >> the way this series has gone, it's been a hard fight to even have a chance to say we're in the finals. so all those hurdles and obstacles we got over them. it's an unbelievable feeling, man. winning a championship is a hard, so this is a testament to that. >> it is.
