Beaten 115-107 Friday in California, the Warriors will have to play a match 7 against the Rockets in the quarter-final of the west conference of NBA. Golden State, however, led 3-1 in this series.
A scenarioster is emerged for Stephen Curry and his teammates, with a deflected mine at the end of the game. Houston, who will play Act VII in Texas on Sunday, will have the opportunity to become the 14th team to win a series of play-offs in the NBA after being carried out 3-1, which has not been seen since 2020.
After offering an awful match 5 Wednesday in Houston, the Warriors seemed apathetic from the start of a final quarter started on the 86-84 score in favor of the Rockets. Their coach Steve Kerr also asked for a time-long after less than a minute of play, the gap having climbed 6 points already.
Pain lost, Golden State was too clumsy at the shot in key moments and was tormented by the leader of Houston Fred Vanvleet, author of 29 points (6 out of 9 by far), 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Houston also dominated in the rebound (62 to 51) with Alperen Sengun (21 points, 14 rebounds) and the amazing Steven Adams (17 points, 5 rebounds).
