Coming into the Houston Rockets' first-round series with the Golden State Warriors, one of the biggest talking points was Amen Thompson and whether he was actually some kind of Steph Curry stopper. He's not.

Amen Thompson notched five steals in the first half to establish a tone of tenacity on defense that galvanized the Rockets in a 131-116 romp that forced Game 6 against the Warriors on Friday in San Francisco.

The Houston Rockets extended their season after a 131-116 victory in Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs against the Golden State Warriors. It was an important game for the Rockets as they came out very aggressive with a focus on the offensive side of the ball.
