Rockets Force Game 7 Against Warriors After Victory

The Houston Rockets have forced a Game 7 in their NBA Playoff series against the Golden State Warriors after overcoming a 3-1 deficit with a 115-107 victory in Game 6. Fred VanVleet led Houston with a standout 29-point performance, supported by key contributions from Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, and Steven Adams. The Rockets' strategic use of a zone defense under Coach Ime Udoka proved critical, stifling the Warriors’ offense and exposing Golden State’s lack of support beyond Stephen Curry, who struggled with efficiency. Golden State’s inability to capitalize on their early series lead and offensive inconsistencies, particularly in the fourth quarter of Game 6, allowed Houston to take control. The decisive Game 7 will determine which team advances, with both facing a win-or-go-home scenario. The series has been marked by resilience from the Rockets and mounting pressure on the Warriors.
