Warriors suppress Houston in the decisive game seven.
Hoo-boy, Golden State Warriors Tore Apart the Houston Rockets!
🏀 Update on the rivalry: The Warriors and the Rockets have rekindled their flame, and this time, it wasn't pretty for Houston! In a nail-biting seventh match at the Toyota Center on Sunday, the Warriors utterly annihilated the Rockets, taking home the win with a resounding score of 89-103.
🤯 Buddy Hield went beast mode: The star of the show was none other than Buddy Hield, who spared no shot in his impressive 33-point blitz, draining an astonishing 12 of 15 field goals (80%) and a jaw-dropping 9 of 11 from three-point range (81.8%). Hield's performance marked the zenith of his career, a genuine spectacle of basketball.
📺 Stephen Curry was on fire too: While Hield lit up the scoreboard, Stephen Curry added fuel to the fire with a fiery performance of his own, finishing with a respectable 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Despite starting off slow with only 3 points in the first half, Curry, armed with four championship rings, found his rhythm in the second half, leading the Warriors to victory.
🥊 Check out the young guns: On the other side of the court, the young and inexperienced Rockets struggled to keep up. Only Alperen Sengun, with 21 points and 14 rebounds, could hold his head high, despite a modest 9 of 23 field goal accuracy, mainly focused on scoring in the paint. Fred VanVleet, who had been a standout in the series, ended with a lackluster 17 points.
👋 Looking ahead: The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have been eagerly awaiting their Western Conference Semifinals rival since last Wednesday, will take on the surging Warriors on Tuesday in Minneapolis. Though the Warriors and Timberwolves have yet to square off with Jimmy Butler on the Timberwolves' roster, don't count the Warriors out – they've been known to turn things around in a hurry, and they sure showed Houston what they're capable of!
