Sunday evening, the Warriors were on the road to face the Rockets in Game 7. Golden State could have closed out the series in games five and six.
However, Houston won two straight to force Game 7. The Rockets were only down seven after three quarters, but they could never recover. After a historic season from the Rockets, they were once again bounced by Steph Curry and the Warriors. Curry had a modest game for his standards with 20 points. It was Buddy Hield with a playoff career-high 33 points and nine made threes vs. the Rockets.
