The Golden State Warriors could not close out their opening-round series against the Houston Rockets on their home floor in San Francisco. A completely tepid offense in the opening stages of the fourth quarter allowed the Rockets to build a final lead that wound up being insurmountable for Golden State.

SAN FRANCISCO – If Steph Curry, after six physically draining games against the Rockets, was nervous about the prospect of a win-or-go-home showdown in Houston following the Warriors’ 115-107 loss in Game 6 on Friday, he did not show it.

The Rockets' zone defense disrupted the Warriors' flow, with the latter shooting just 13-of-30 against it, according to a report from ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. After the game, Steph Curry, who scored 29 points on 9-of-23 accuracy, acknowledged Houston's move.
