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.
