The Houston Rockets need to come away with a Game 6 win if they want to extend their season. However, luckily for Houston, the task may have gotten a tad easier after Kevin Durant suffered a calf strain that will keep him of the lineup for at least Game 6, possibly more. In a 104-99 Warriors Game 5 victory, Klay Thompson led the way with 27 points on 11-of-20 shooting while knocking down five of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc. Stephen Curry also added 25 points while Durant had 22 before being forced from the contest.

In a losing effort, All-Star guard James Harden scored 31 points while dishing out eight assists. From an offensive standpoint, the Rockets struggled as they only shot 41.8 percent from the field. There are a number of fascinating storylines to watch as the two teams do battle in Game 6. Things didn't look so great for the Golden State Warriors after dropping Games 3 and 4, but they were able to pull out a Game 5 victory, defeating the Houston Rockets, 104-99.

Despite losing Kevin Durant for the entire fourth quarter due to a right calf strain, the Warriors rode Stephen Curry's 20-point second half effort to hold off the Rockets' surge to take a 3-2 series lead.

With the Warriors leading 102-99 in crunch time, Golden State nearly suffered a costly turnover before Kevon Looney recovered a loose ball and Klay Thompson then converted on a layup to close out the game for the Warriors.

It's unclear how serious Durant's injury is, but the Warriors might have to overcome his absence as they look to eliminate the Rockets in Game 6. Here are three takeaways from the Warriors Game 5 win:

Sigh of relief

When Kevin Durant came up lame after planting on his right foot for a jump shot, it was impossible to not think the worst: Achilles tear. It seemed to have all the signs, and the fate of not just the Warriors but, in many ways, the entire NBA landscape was hanging in the balance. When TNT's Allie LaForce reported that it was a right calf strain, everyone breathed a giant sigh of relief. Well, everyone except the Rockets, perhaps.

Stephen Curry was, and largely still is, in the middle of one of the worst shooting streaks of his career. Given the stakes, it probably is the worst. When Durant went out, Curry had just nine points and was missing everything again. But when it came time to dig deep with Durant in the locker room, Curry was there.

All told, Curry scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half. Klay Thompson hit huge shots. Draymond Green hit a monster three. Andre Iguodala made plays. Kevon Looney was the MVP of the game. On a night when the Celtics showed everyone what it looks like to wither up and die without a fight, the Warriors reminded everyone what the heart of a champion looks and feels like. You don't win three out of four championships by accident.

Series is far from over

When a best-of-seven series is tied 2-2, the team that wins Game 5 goes on to win the series 82 percent of the time. In other words, historically speaking, the Rockets have a less than 20-percent chance of winning this series. But it sure doesn't feel that way, does it? The home team has won every game in this series, and if Durant is out for Game 6, obviously you favor the Rockets in that game, and then anything can happen in Game 7. This series is far from over.
