How Draymond Green, Warriors played against Rockets
Unfortunately for Draymond Green and the Warriors, they were unable to close out the series at home against the Rockets.
The Warriors had trouble gaining any kind of serious momentum to put the Rockets on the ropes. They struggled against Houston's double-big lineup of Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, which played a big factor in the results of the fourth quarter. The visitors built a lead that was strong enough to bench Golden State's starters and force Game 7 as a result.
Four players scored in double-digits on Golden State's behalf. Stephen Curry led the way with 29 points and seven rebounds. He shot 9-of-23 from the field, including 6-of-16 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. Jimmy Butler III came next with 27 points and nine rebounds, Moses Moody put up 13 points, while Brandin Podziemski provided 10 points and seven rebounds.
The Warriors will look to bounce back by winning Game 7 on the road against the Rockets. The contest will take place on May 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
