The best two words in sports: Game 7.
A few games ago, when the Warriors held a 3-1 series lead, the scenario seemed unlikely. But the Rockets evened the series with dominant Game 5 and a strong fourth quarter in Game 6. Now Houston is at home for Sunday's winner-take-all matchup.
Game 6 was tight heading into the fourth quarter, but the Warriors' starters looked tired in the final frame. Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler both played 42 minutes, scoring 29 and 27 points, respectively.
Houston's defense was a problem once again. It held the Warriors to just 41.1 percent from the field and 30.6 percent on three-pointers. The Rockets made Golden State work for each bucket, especially in the fourth quarter.
Here's what you need to know about Sunday's matchup between Rockets and Warriors, including broadcast information and start time.
