Bad News For Golden State Fans

After losing Stephen Curry in Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round Series between the Golden State Warriors, the defending champions, and the Houston Rockets in a repeat of last year's Western Conference Championships, the Warrior fans were concerned. Curry would go on to miss the next two games, one at home in the Oracle Arena in Oakland California, and one on the road in the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The Warriors managed to win their home game, but lost on the road after a controversial ending in which the league has announced that the Rockets' winning shot by James Harden should not have counted due to a variety of missed calls in the final minutes of the game. However, last year's MVP would return to Game 4 against the Rockets, but it wouldn't be for long. At the end of the second quarter in which the game was tied at 56, Curry slipped and sprained his right knee. He did not return at all to play in the second half of the game. Fortunately for the Warriors, they did end up winning 121-94, and they will have a chance to close out the series on Wednesday at home in the Oracle Arena. However, Curry's injury could be devastating if he is unable to return. Even if the Warriors advance, they will still have to face one of two talented teams, either the Portland Trail Blazers led by Damian Lillard, or the Los Angeles Clippers led by Chris Paul who always seem to have heated match ups with the Warriors. Curry will have an MRI tommorrow to see if he can still play.
