Warriors Lose Game 6, Face Rockets in Game 7

The Golden State Warriors lost Game 6 of their playoff series against the Houston Rockets, falling 115-107 after a weak fourth quarter and now face a decisive Game 7. Jonathan Kuminga, who recently returned from illness and was cleared to play, had fluctuating playing time due to team strategy and the return of Jimmy Butler. Head coach Steve Kerr has indicated Kuminga could see increased minutes as the Warriors seek solutions for their rotation issues. The Rockets, staying alive in the series, benefited from Jalen Green overcoming an injury scare and building on his earlier strong performances. Kerr has also highlighted Buddy Hield's defensive efforts as the Warriors attempt to stabilize their lineup. Both teams will now prepare for a winner-take-all Game 7.
