Warriors made us pay for mistakes, Rockets acknowledge The Rockets James Harden and Chris Paul regretted their teams mistakes after Houston was beaten by the Warriors in the NBA Western Conference finals opener. Harden, with 41 points, led the way for the hosts, but he was frustrated with the number of turnovers as the Rockets opened the door for second-seeded Golden State to filp home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series. We lost a home game in the last series - obviously its a different team but, for us, our focus right now is on game two. In some games and some series, you make mistakes and guys dont make those shots, but tonight, every time we did it, they made the shots. For us, were gonna look at the film and a lot of it we already know; weve just got to do it better, because obviously they make you pay when you make mistakes. Every time we made a mistake, they made us pay.
