Only minutes after a convincing 126-85 win over the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors were already looking ahead to Game 4, starting with their leading scorer Kevin Durant, who chatted with the Inside The NBA crew after his press conference obligations.
“Next game is gonna be the toughest game in the playoffs,” warned Durant. “We can't get satisfied because we're at home or we won, that we're up 2-1.”
“Tomorrow there's gonna be a good film session in practice. Mentally you just gotta stay locked-in, it's easy to get comfortable.”
Durant wasn't as explosive as he was during Games 1 and 2, notching only 25 points after 37 and 38-point performances in the series, instead, letting a struggling Stephen Curry carry the scoring load with 35 points.
The Warriors are expecting the Rockets to cue up the tapes and come with a renewed sense of focus, while they hope to keep the foot on the throttle and remained undefeated at home after winning their first seven games of the postseason there.
Golden State also went 9-0 at Oracle Arena last season, making this the 16th straight playoff win on home soil, making it one of the best home-court advantages in the league, especially after stealing Game 1 on the road against the top-seeded Rockets.
With Curry having regained his shooting touch and Durant seemingly locked-and-loaded at a moment's notice, the Warriors are still expecting a bounce-back game from Klay Thompson now, after putting up only eight and 13 points in the last two games.
