All or nothing in game 7! Warriors face Rockets with intact confidence

The drama in the NBA playoffs reaches its peak: the Golden State Warriors, after losing their 3-1 advantage, prepare for a decisive game 7 against the Houston Rockets this Sunday, May 4 at the Toyota Center. The defeat 115-107 in game 6 in San Francisco has tested the temper of the Warriors, but their leaders, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, project unwavering confidence that could be key in this confrontation of life or death.

Butler, the veteran who has assumed a leadership role in Golden State, does not show signs of panic. After Friday’s defeat, he said: “Our trust is at its highest point. It’s now or never. We know how good we are.” His words resonate in a team with experience in borderline situations, with players like Green, who holds a 3-2 record in Games 7. Green, meanwhile, recognized frustration, but kept calm: “It is a series of seven games. We know that we can win there. You have to go for victory.”

The Rockets, led by an inspired Fred Vanvleet, who scored 25 points in game 6, and a physicist Ame Thompson, have shown that they will not easily surrender. Houston took advantage of his advantage in painting and forced 15 warriors ball losses in game 6, exposing the weaknesses of a team that looked exhausted and overcome tactically. In addition, Houston’s defense has limited Stephen Curry, who dealing with a thumb injury, scored only 5 points in game 6.

Coach Steve Kerr faces pressure to adjust tactics and alignments. The inclusion of Jonathan Kumina in game 7 is on the table, according to Kerr, who seeks more energy and versatility. The Warriors will need Curry and Butler to wake up offensively, since they combined only 11 points in game 6, an unacceptable performance for their standards.

Despite the experience of Golden State, the hostile atmosphere in Houston and the impulse of the rockets, which have won two consecutive games, present a formidable challenge. Warriors must control the rhythm, reduce losses and take advantage of their advantage in triples, where they have been surpassed in the last two games. As Butler said, “it’s time to make sure it is done.” The NBA world expects an epic shock. Can the Warriors channel their experience to advance, or the young Rockets will surprise? Sunday will say everything
