With Under Armour-sponsored Stephen Curry sidelined with a knee injury, the Golden State Warriors still managed to blow out James Harden and the Houston Rockets last night, closing its opening round series with a 114-81 victory to move on to the Western Conference semifinals.
Led by the shooting of Anta-sponsored guard Klay Thompson, the Warriors easily won Game 5 against the Rockets on Wednesday at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. Thompson – wearing a predominantly blue with yellow and white Anta KT – led Golden State in scoring, dropping 27 points in the win, including knocking down seven 3-pointers. Golden State guard Shaun Livingston also had a big night offensively, scoring 16 points on a near perfect 7-of-8 shooting and dishing out three assists in the Nike Hyperdunk 2014.
