The Houston Rockets are feeling really good after their Game 4 win over the Warriors. The series is tied and heading back to Houston. The Warriors know they have to take back the momentum and win Game 6. But Houston has something to say about that. The Rockets found away to hang on and defeat the Warriors in a nail-biter 98-94. Similar to Game 4's ending, the Warriors had chances to win the game. Chris Paul goes down late in the 4th (hamstring injury) as the Warriors are pushing for the fast break. Golden State's Quinn Cook gets a look at an open three to take the lead but misses the shot. Then with 6 seconds left, Steph Curry passes the ball to Draymond, who fumbles the ball and turns it over to the Rockets. The Warriors had a balance attack with 3 players scoring 20 plus points (Kevin Durant game high 29, Curry 22, Thompson 23). Eric Gordon was a spark for the Rockets scoring a team high 24 points in the win. Capella also chipped in with a double double (12 points and 14 rebounds). Chris Paul came on strong with a solid 20 points as well to help the Rockets clinch the win. The Warriors are one game away from elimination. Can Houston finally get over the hump to make it to the NBA Finals or will the Warriors force a deciding Game 7? We will see on Saturday at Golden State for Game 7!
