Houston just defeated Golden State 95-92 to even up the series at 2-2. Every game in this series had been decided by double digits until tonight's close game. Tonight's game had some lopsided scoring with a team opening up a double digit lead in each quarter. Both teams erupted for a 34 point quarter, Rockets in the 2nd and Warriors in the 3rd, but when it came down to the closing quarter the Warriors only managed to put up 12 points.

The tied series returns to Houston for a pivotal Game 5 Thursday night at 7 pm central time. The winner of Game 5 will be favored to win the series.
Who do you think will prevail in this series?
That was an impressive win last night, especially after the poor game 3 performance. The Rockets have shown they have what it takes to play with the Warriors. Houston can win this series. Winning game 5 will sure be a big help.
Excellent post!
