After losing game one at home, the Rockets were in a must win and rose to the occasion.

Mike D’Antoni’s squad made the necessary adjustments and moved the ball more compared to game one and that created more open looks for shooters.

P.J. Tucker hit 5-of-6 threes for 22 points and was the x-factor for a Houston Rockets team that hit 16-of-42 threes on their way to a 127-105 win.

James Harden and Eric Gordon each dropped 27 points to lead the Rockets in scoring while Swiss center Clint Capela added five points, 10 boards and an assist for the winning side.

Kevin Durant was a one-man show once again for the Warriors as the reigning finals MVP tallied 38 points on 13-of-22 shooting but didn’t get enough help from Klay Thompson (8 p.) and Steph Curry (16 p.).

Georgian international, Zaza Pachulia played five mins and had six points and 1 rebound for the Warriors.

The series now shifts to Oakland for Games 3 and 4.
