San Francisco – Steph Curry and Golden State Warriors have turn into cold for an extended episode of the fourth quarter, and now they will have to do it on their own skin.
They returned to Houston to the decisive game 7 in the first round of the Western Conference, needing one other journey to Texas to try to extend the season after a lost opportunity at home in a lost 115-107, which equalized a series with rockets with three games per piece.
“I like our chances. I saw what this group can do for years. I believe that we were in many 7S games, they were very successful,” said coach Warriors Steve Kerr. “Jimmy Butler is Jimmy Butler. He was in all these games. He is one of the contractors of the clutch in the league, so we will prepare. We will lose, we will be ready to throw ourselves.”

Golden State shooters were cold for the majority of the fourth quarter, which gave them little probability of the episode against Fred Vanvleet and the second Houston spacing.
The warriors left 13 straight shots between the Drymond Green basket in point 10:12 of the fourth quarter and 3-point curry from 3:35.
“We’ll be fine, we just have to continue the right game again and again,” said Butler. “… We have to stop focusing on them so much and focus on us. If we do it, everything will be fine. We will not sit here and behave as if we played our best version of basketball, because they are not. And they were fine, but they did not play their best version of basketball either.”
They led the better of seven 3-1 series and didn’t want anything greater than on Friday evening at the Chase Center in the Chase Center, but as a substitute they get one other flight.
The game 7 is on Sunday in the second round against Minnesota.

“In the second half of the season we found a formula here and stayed with this formula to start the series at 3-1, everything goes well, and then of course the last two matches went very poorly,” said Kerr. “We have to evaluate everything and combinations in the composition, starters, we must assess all this and we think we have a great chance to go there and win the game 7.”
Curry and Co. They couldn’t make key pieces – ending 17 revolutions for 22 Houston points – during crunchy, and the rockets responded to virtually every threat. In this series, they won a shoot with a victory 131-116 in match 5 at home on Wednesday evening-then they died down the faithful warriors of yellow warriors.
“Having here, having, is not only points on the board, it is a feeling, it’s a climate, it’s morale, momentum,” said curry. “You have to kick deeply to win this kind of game. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to do it. Very sure that we can do it.”
Curry scored 29 points, but scored 9 out of 23, winning 6 for 16 from the depths. Butler added 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, when the warriors fell to 27-11 since their debut on February 8 after trading with Miami.
Golden State played his participation in the 7S match – 4 championships won from Curry and Green.
“You have to make arrows at the end of the day,” said Curry, adding later: “The win is difficult and maintaining, it is difficult. … If you want to win at the highest level, you have to accept hard.”
Butler is the most concerned about Hustle games, the effort to break the boards and prosecute loose balls.

“We have to get these 50-50 balls, we have to bounce better,” said Butler. “It was a story in the whole series. They got loose balls and got too many offensive rebounds.”
