Warriors take 3-0 lead over Rockets in Western finals
ByReuters
Guard Stephen Curry was unstoppable as the Golden State Warriors moved within one victory of reaching the NBA Finals when they routed the Houston Rockets 115-80 in Game Three of the Western Conference finals on Saturday.
Curry scored 40 points, including seven-of-nine from three-point range, in the Warriors' emphatic road victory that gave them a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Golden State can close out the series in Game Four in Houston on Monday.
After giving the Warriors a close contest in the first two games, the Rockets were never in the hunt on Saturday as guard James Harden had a poor offensive performance.
He was only three-for-16 for 17 points.
