OAKLAND, Calif. _ All Stephen Curry feels he ever needs is one shot.
The Warriors guard only needs one shot to spark a shooting streak. He only needs one shot to rile up the Warriors fans at Oracle Arena. And he only needs one shot to turn an uncertain outcome into a definitive one.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, that cut both ways in a 95-92 Game 4 loss to the Rockets on Tuesday at Oracle Arena.
Curry scored a team-high 28 points albeit on 10-of-26 shooting, missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer with .5 seconds left and shot only 1-of-8 in the fourth quarter. But then, the Warriors would not have been in such a position without his third-quarter play. In the third, Curry scored 17 points while shooting 6-of-10 from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point range.
Nonetheless, the Warriors are tied with the Rockets, 2-2, and no longer have home-court advantage entering Game 5 on Thursday in Houston.
