Another magical night for the MVP
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are now just one win away from the NBA Finals after delivering a beatdown to the Houston Rockets last night.
After taking a 2-0 Western Conference finals lead at home, the Warriors arrived in Houston and humiliated the Rockets in front of the their own fans, racing out to a 62-37 half-time lead en route to a 115-80 victory.
Things began well enough for the Rockets, with Dwight Howard flushing home a big dunk in the early stages to ramp up the crowd.
But that was as good as it got for Howard and MVP runner-up James Harden, who shot a miserable 3-16 for just 17 points, as Curry took over, scoring 40 points on a remarkable 19 shots, including seven threes.

Houston come back to try and get off the mark tomorrow night, knowing that no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a seven-game series.
