This was not the usual performance from the Golden State Warriors that NBA fans are accustomed to seeing.
The Houston Rockets outplayed the Warriors in Game 6 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, winning 115-107 and forcing a Game 7. Now, the Warriors must face a determined Houston team on the road in a do-or-die situation.
The Warriors struggled to answer the Rockets' strategic advantages, including a double-big lineup and aggressive defense. Despite the Rockets' tactics, the Warriors' lack of effort and intensity ultimately led to their downfall.
If the Warriors do not step up their game in Game 7, they risk repeating history and blowing a 3-1 series lead once again.
