Warriors reach second round with MVP Stephen Curry sidelined

Golden State rolled right into the second round of the playoffs by embarrassing the Houston Rockets 114-81 on Wednesday night to win the best-of-seven series 4-1 as injured Stephen Curry, the league's leading scorer, watched in delight.

Now, the Warriors will wait for their next opponent once the Clippers-Trail Blazers series ends - and wait for Curry's sprained right knee to heal. He is expected to miss most of this next series.
