In a game that had already seen one devastating impact, Golden State reserve Pat Spencer took what was perhaps a more comical blow late in the Warriors' Game 2 loss on Wednesday. Spencer was hit squarely in the face by a towel that Rockets bench player Tari Eason threw at him during an on-court incident in the fourth quarter of the 109-94 loss.

After nearly three weeks of waiting, the Houston Rockets now know who they will face in their first playoff series in five years. The Golden State Warriors won Tuesday night's play-in game over Memphis to earn the Western Conference's No.
