Houston has been tremendous ever since, though. In Game 5, the Rockets won 131-116 after three players scored 24 or more points in VanVleet (26), Amen Thompson (25) and Dillon Brooks (24). In fact, the Rockets took a 27-point lead into the fourth quarter, leading to head coach Steve Kerr clearing the bench early.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have another Game 7 in the NBA playoffs. The Houston Rockets pulled out a dominant 115-107 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Friday's Game 6 to force a do-or-die matchup in Houston on Sunday.

For the 13th time in Houston Rockets history, a best-of-7 playoff series will come down to one final showdown. The Rockets will host the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of their NBA Western Conference first-round series at 7:30 p.
