Four Is Still Better Than Two.

When your soon-to-be-MVP star scores 41 points on 14-24 shooting and above 50% in 3 pointers, you should win.

When your soon-to-be-HOFer All Star guard scores 23 points and grabs 11 rebounds, you should win.

Except the Houston Rockets didn't.



And that's because while they had a Big Two in James Harden and Chris Paul, they didn't have two things the Warriors had: another Big Two.

Keving Durant (37points) and Klay Thompson (28points) basically matched Harden and Paul's output but the Rockets didn't have anyone to match Stephen Curry (18 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds) and Draymond Green (5 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks).

The Rockets' super sixth man Eric Gordon scored 15 points but didn't contribute much anywhere else while Clint Capela had a relatively quiet game (12 points, 6 rebounds).

So what needs to happen for the Rockets to have a shot at leveling the series? They need to make sure they can match the Warriors' four main men. Or James Harden needs to morph into Lebron James.
