It turned out to make a huge difference. Stephen Curry hit two free WKURZV LQ WKH ¿QDO VHFRQGV WR¿QLVKZLWKSRLQWVDQG the Warriors rallied from a SRLQWGH¿FLWLQWKHVHFRQG quarter to beat the Houston Rockets 110-106 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the :HVWHUQ&RQIHUHQFH¿QDOV With the Rockets seem- ingly ready to rout the home team, the Warriors used a smaller lineup featuring 6-foot-7 Draymond Green DWFHQWHUDQGFORVHGWKH¿UVW KDOI RQ D UXQ 6KDXQ /LYLQJVWRQ VFRUHG RI his 18 points in the quarter, helping Golden State go ahead 58-55 at halftime. The Warriors held off James Harden and Houston in the fourth quarter again behind their undersized lineup, which worked especially well after Rockets center Dwight Howard departed with a left knee injury. “It really stretches people out,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of his lineup full of shooters. “Houston does the same thing. It was an inter- esting chess match, because they like to go small and we like to go small.” Harden, the runner-up to Curry in the MVP voting, nearly brought the Rockets back without Howard in the IRXUWK+DUGHQ¿QLVKHGZLWK 28 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals, but his in Oakland, and it’s unclear if Howard can play. Howard doesn’t think the injury will sideline him for the series. “Hopefully Dwight is healthy and we can play big,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. “We didn’t have that option with Dwight out.” Harden, serenaded with chants of “Over-rated!” from Warriors fans, mixed in a series of step-back jumpers and driving layups to help Houston even the score at 95-all midway through the fourth.

We’re both supposed to help our team win and do what we can to impact the game,” said Curry, whose 2-year-old daughter Riley, playfully interrupted him during his postgame news conference. The Rockets never relented, though, with Trevor $UL]DPDNLQJDSRLQWHUWKDW trimmed the Warriors’ lead to ZLWKVHFRQGVWR play. Curry twice caught the inbounds pass, and the Rockets were forced to foul him both times. He hit both free throws to seal Golden State’s win. “When we go small, it’s not necessarily small. We have guys out there that can guard multiple positions,” Livingston said. “From there, it’s just feeding off our crowd.” SCOREBOARD Local Slate PREP BASEBALL Friday Hillsboro at Pendleton (5A play-in), 4:30 p.m. Hermiston at St. Helens (5A play-in), 4:30 p.m. TBD vs. Stanfield (EOL tournament), 3 p.m. Saturday Heppner vs. Irrigon (at The Dalles, SD6 Tournament), 10 a.m. Pilot Rock vs. Dufur (at The Dalles, SD6 Tournament), TBD PREP SOFTBALL Today Weston-McEwen at Pilot Rock (SD6 Tournament), 5 p.m. Friday Irrigon vs. Burns (SD6 Tournament, EOU), 10 a.m. Weston-McEwen vs. Irrigon/Burns winner (SD6 Tournament, EOU), TBD Pilot Rock winner vs. Union (SD6 Tourna- ment, at EOU), TBD PREP TENNIS Thursday-Saturday Class 5A State Championships (at Portland), 9 a.m. Friday-Saturday Class 4A-1A State Championships (at Corvallis), 8 a.m. PREP TRACK & FIELD Thursday 3A-1A state championships (at Eugene), 8 a.m. Friday 5A-1A state championships (at Eugene), 8 a.m. Saturday 5A-4A state championships (at Eugene), 8 a.m. Basketball NBA Playoff glance CONFERENCE FINALS (Best-of-7; x-if necessary) EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlanta vs. Cleveland Today, May 20: Cleveland at Atlanta, 5:30 p.m. WESTERN CONFERENCE Golden State 1, Houston 0 Tuesday, May 19: Golden State 110, Houston 106 Thursday, May 21: Houston at Golden State, 6 p.m. Baseball MLB American League East Division New York Tampa Bay Boston Baltimore Toronto Central Division Kansas City Detroit Minnesota Chicago W 22 22 19 17 18 L 18 18 20 19 23 Pct GB .550 — .550 — .487 2½ .472 3 .439 4½ W 25 23 22 18 L 14 17 17 18 Pct GB .641 — .575 2½ .564 3 .500 5½ Cleveland West Division 15 23 .395 9½ W 26 20 17 16 14 L 14 19 21 23 27 Pct .650 .513 .447 .410 .341 GB — 5½ 8 9½ 12½ Houston Los Angeles Seattle Texas Oakland ——— Tuesday’s Games Minnesota 8, Pittsburgh 5 Washington 8, N.Y.
