Rockets Defeat Warriors 115-107, Set Game 7 in Houston

The Houston Rockets forced a Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors after a 115-107 victory in Game 6, overcoming a 3-1 series deficit in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Fred VanVleet has been a standout performer, leading the Rockets with 29 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, and consistently outshooting Stephen Curry from beyond the arc in recent games. The Rockets showed poise and resilience down the stretch, capitalizing on the Warriors’ offensive struggles, including a critical shooting drought in the fourth quarter. Despite strong efforts from Curry and Jimmy Butler, Golden State could not leverage their home-court advantage or match Houston's late-game execution. With momentum on their side and Game 7 set in Houston, the Rockets are now brimming with confidence while the veteran Warriors face questions about their age and ability to respond under pressure. The series winner will advance to face Minnesota in the Western Conference semifinals.
