The Golden State Warriors are up 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals. After two thrilling performances, let’s look at the series’ three biggest moments.

Unlike last season, the Golden State Warriors have taken a commanding 2-0 series lead. If they can secure one of two in Houston, this series will transition back to Golden State for a potentially series-ending Game 5.

That said, this series, while short, has had an unprecedented amount of drama. From the officiating in Game 1 to the injuries in Game 2, we’ve been exposed to all the highs and lows of an entire postseason in just a week.

After closing out their first-round series a week ago, the Warriors bounced back and started their current series on Sunday. They won that game by four as both Harden and Durant posted a game-high 35 points.

The Warriors also downed the Rockets in a less dramatic Game 2. Coincidently, Durant and Harden posted a game-high 29 points in Game 2 as well. Those two have been dominant throughout the first few games.

Both Game 1 and Game 2 can be boiled down to a few huge momentum-swinging plays. That said, let’s dive into the three biggest moments of this Western Conference semifinal matchup.
