OAKLAND, Calif. — This time of year, the crowds are loud and extremely tight in the hallways inside the “House of Steph Curry”. Each team split a game as the Warriors decided to take game 1 of the series, handing Game 2 to the Houston Rockets. Homecoming at Oakland’s Oracle Arena, Game 3 incited a return to the norm for the Golden State Warriors as they trounced the Houston Rockets126-85 on Sunday. The Warriors now lead the Western Conference finals 2-1.
Most important, the Warriors welcomed the arrival of two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who exploded for 18 points in the third quarter, during which he went a perfect 7-for-7 from the field. He finished with a game-high with 35 points on 13-for-23 shooting from the field, including 5-for-12 from beyond the 3-point arc (though 4-for-5 following halftime).
Curry’s offensive game was also the object of intense focus in Game 3. He entered the series struggling with his long-range shot, having converted only two of his 13 attempts from behind the 3-point line during the pair of games in Houston — struggles that continued into the first half of Game 3 (1-for-7 on 3-point attempts).

Curry ignited the arena by simply saying “This is my f**king house” 😅😅
