Be that as it may, it is clear that this does not make Sunday's win over the Rockets any less special. Green, in particular, proved just that with his hyped reaction after their series victory against a relentless Houston side.

The Warriors will need to have this same level of energy come Tuesday as they return to the court to battle Anthony Edwards and the Wolves in Game 1 of their second-round matchup.
Minnesota just took out LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round, and they will be looking to do the same against the Warriors in the West semis.

Kurtz becomes first MLB rookie with 4-homer game as A's beat Astros 15-3
Nick Kurtz became the first major league rookie to hit four homers in a game, leading the Athletics to a 15-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night. Kurtz went 6-for-6 with eight RBIs and six runs scored. He's just the second player in Major League Baseball history to have four homers in a six-hit game, joining Shawn Green of the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 23, 2002, at Milwaukee, and he matched Green's MLB record with 19 total bases. It was the first six-hit game for the Athletics since Joe DeMaestri on July 8, 1955, at Detroit. The 22-year-old also had a single and a double that hit just below the yellow line over the visitor's bullpen in the fourth inning. Kurtz singled in the first and his two-run homer in the second put the Athletics ahead 5-0. His solo shot in the sixth made it 10-2. His third homer was his longest, a 414-foot drive into the second deck in the eighth. Kurtz's final homer came against outfielder Cooper Hummel, a three-run, opposite-field line drive to the Crawford boxes in left field that made it 15-2. Kurtz extended his hitting streak to 12 game,s and his 23 home runs are the most for an A's rookie since Yoenis Céspedes in 2012 and fourth most in franchise history. Tyler Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers also homered for the A's, who had a season high in runs. Jeffrey Springs (9-7) allowed two runs over six innings. Zack Short hit a two-run homer for Houston in the fifth. Ryan Gusto (6-4) allowed eight runs on eight hits over 3 1/3 innings. Hummel had allowed one run and retired two batters in the ninth when Kurtz hit a 77 mph, 2-0 pitch for his fourth homer. Kurtz is batting .553 (26 for 47) with nine homers and 20 RBIs during his 12-game hitting streak. Houston RHP Hunter Brown (9-4 2.57 ERA) opposes LHP Jacob Lopez (3-6 4.60 ERA) when the series continues Saturday.
