Even though the Warriors were the lower seed, they proved the people right with a 95-85 victory in Game 1. Having already won on the Rockets' home court, it seemed as though the series was swaying heavily in Golden State's favor.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler suffered a pelvic contusion in Game 2 against the Houston Rockets and was forced to exit the game. The Warriors, who are tied with the Rockets at 1-1, are listing Butler as questionable to play in Game 3, which is Saturday.

Following Green's verbal back-and-forth with VanVleet, Rockets fans started chanting, " F*** you, Draymond " throughout the arena. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admonished Rockets fans for the language, saying Green's kids were likely watching the game.
