OAKLAND (CBS SF) - Everything about the first half of the NBA Western Conference Finals game 4 Monday night in Houston was scary for Warriors fans. Those in the stands tried to distract themselves from the flooding streets of Houston by watching the game. But inside the gym, the Rockets were raining first quarter jump shots at a nearly unprecedented pace. Then things got worse.

Stephen Curry's 11 point first half was almost keeping the Warriors in the game, but at the 5:52 mark of the second quarter, the league's MVP took one of the nastiest spills of his career. He stretched out nearly motionless for minutes as the training staff checked him. When he did get help off of the court, he didn't exactly look ready to run the point for the league's most prolific offense.

Here are a few of the best internet meme's from the hours following the game.
