It seems Curry, after lugging the Warriors to a victory with 36 points in Game 3, was due for an off night in Game 4. He had 16 points on 6-for-13 shooting. But in his stead, Brandin Podziemski and Jimmy Butler (who missed Game 4 with a pelvic contusion) picked up the slack.

SAN FRANCISCO – Facing the league’s most physical and handsy defense without his fearless co-star, the Warriors asked 37-year-old Steph Curry to put the offense on his shoulders in the third game of their playoff series with the Houston Rockets.

Houstonians may need to head out early if they plan to catch the Rockets' game against the Golden State Warriors in the Game 5 matchup Wednesday. The sold-out game is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m.
