Rockets too much for Warriors late, stay alive in game 6

San Francisco-Fred Vanvleet had 29 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds, Alperen Sengun taught 21 points and 14 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets kept their season on Friday evening with the Golden State Warriors 115-107 in the first round in the first round.

The Golden State got cold when it was most important: the Warriors missed 13 direct shots between Draymond Greens basket with 10:12 left and a 3-point by Stephen Curry in the 3: 35 mark.

Now everyone will return to a plane on Sunday and drive to Houston to meet the well -rested Minnesota in the semi -finals of the Western Conference. This is exactly what the Warriors hoped to avoid with the chance to delete themselves at home in the Chase Center.

“Just make everything difficult,” said Vanvleet after the game when he was asked for Houston's fourth quarter. “Obviously we know what you bring at the table. So just do everything hard. Apply everything. We have the double large line -up in the back to clean up and move on the edge. And then at the other end in attack mode.

“I just think that only our youth and our athletics can carry them on in the course of the game, and we were able to succeed with them late.”

Curry scored 29 points, but scored 9-of-23 and went 6-to-16 from Deep. Jimmy Butler added 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.

Houston trainer Ime Udoka improved to 5: 1 when she dealt with the exclusion.

Vanvleet converted a four-point game to start the fourth quarter after the Warriors pulled the third into two parts with Curry's flood. Jalen Green achieved a setback of his own Miss next time. Then Vanvleets 3 made up 6:47 Houston 101-89 from above.

“We cannot give up a four-point game in a two-point game,” said Draymond Green.

Curry's Fahrlayup with 39 seconds in third place made it a four-point game and raised the home amount in bright yellow playoff shirts with suitable rally towels. Then he did two free throws when the warriors moved within 86-84.

But the warriors couldn't keep it going. With a balanced effort at both ends – including 17 points and hectic games of the Big Man Steven Adams from the bank – Houston had an answer almost every time Golden State threatened or played a big game.

The Warriors led 3-1 in the series, but fell in a hurry in a hurry in a branch in game 5 on Wednesday evening when Houston's offensive scored an average of 98 points in the first four games in the series.

Vanvleet was brilliant again. After 8-against-13 games, he shot 7-against-13 and converted every nine of his free throws. And from a 3-point range in the last three games it is 18 for 27.

“He feels comfortable, he comes where he wants to get,” said Draymond Green. “Somehow you have to break it up.”
