The Golden State Warriors failed to close out their first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, losing Game 5, 131-116, to the Houston Rockets. The game was over before it began as the Rockets blew the Warriors out of the water from the outset, so much so that Steve Kerr felt it necessary to tell reporters he didn't have Golden State ready to go for the big game.
Steph Curry, for his part, seemed to be in good enough spirits after the loss. The Warriors superstar has been battling a thumb injury since the end of the regular season and has played much of the Rockets series with a wrap on. When asked by reporters after Game 5 how his thumb was feeling, Curry cracked it was "cold" because he was icing it at that moment.
