The Warriors would open on the road; the Rockets would play Game 1 at home. “I like our chances,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I’ve seen what this group can do over the years.

The Warriors became the first team in playoff history to put 14 different players on the floor in the first half of a playoff game. “I didn’t want to push it with Draymond or Jimmy,” Kerr said.
