Rockets and Warriors Face Injury Woes.
BRIGGS: After all the talk of referees in game one of the Rockets/Warriors series, that was the last thing on anyone's mind after a wave of injuries last night. Former Rockets ball boy Andy Scholes has more in the "Bleacher Report". Good morning, my friend.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Yes, a sad morning to be a former Rocket ball boy down 0-2, Dave. But, hey, still a long way to go in this series. Now, like I said, all eyes, they were on the officials after the missed calls in game one in the series. Now, on top of those missed calls, the rockets least favorite official, Scott Foster, who they've had run-ins in the past was on the court with this one. But, you know, in the end, the officials not the story. It was the injuries. First quarter, Steph Curry looking at his finger. And when you zoom in, it's not supposed to bend that way. Curry would go to the locker room. X-ray is negative. He returned a little later in the game with a dislocated finger, looked okay. Knocking down a three there. James harden also getting hurt. Wrapped across the eyes by Draymond Green there. He has to go to the locker room, but he would return as well. He did a three in the fourth to pull the Rockets within three. That's as close as they would get. The warriors win, 115-109, to take a lead in the series. After the game, Curry and Harden talked about trying to fight through these injuries.</s>STEPH CURRY, WARRIORS GUARD: It hurts, but it will be all right. I didn't break anything. Just fortunate. Just got to deal with pain and, hopefully before Saturday, that goes away. Be fine.</s>JAMES HARDEN, ROCKETS GUARD: Now, I can barely see, but just trying to go out there and do what I can to help my teammates.</s>SCHOLES: All right. The Bucks meanwhile dominating the Celtics in game two to even the series at a game apiece. Milwaukee outscoring Boston by 21 points in the third quarter. They led by as many as 31. Giannis Antetokounmpo just dominant in this one, he scored 29. Final 123-102. Game three would be Friday in Boston. Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia joining an elite club last night, becoming the 17th pitcher and only the third lefty to reach the 3,000 strikeout mark. Sabathia celebrated the feat with his teammates and also his family, who traveled to Arizona to see it. The other two lefties to get to 3,000, Randy Johnson and Steve Carlson. Sabathia got his first strikeout back in April of 2001. Eighteen years later, he gets the three. All right. Finally, NASCAR series champion Joey Logano was honored at the White House yesterday. Logano and team owner Roger Penske and others had a short ceremony on the South Lawn. Logano joked about wanting to do a burnout in his car, but said the Secret Service shut that down. Logano was able to give President Trump a helmet from his championship winning season.</s>JOEY LOGANO, NASCAR SERIES CHAMPION: He did not try the helmet on. He might later on, who knows? Now, we don't want to screw up the hair, so, he had to make sure -- you don't want helmet hair, I know the feeling.</s>SCHOLES: Dave, I would love to see President Trump put that helmet on. He's actually going to have a special place in the Oval Office for that.</s>BRIGGS: We've seen what the wind does to the president's hair. He saw that moment coming. Congratulations to Joey and Team Penske. All right, Andy. Thank you, my friend. Romans, what's coming up?</s>ROMANS: All right, Dave, in just a few hours, critical testimony from the attorney general. The stakes raised significantly now that we know Robert Mueller disagreed with the way Bill Barr characterized Mueller's findings.
