The Warriors won Game 7 on the road in Houston Sunday night, 103-89. While the coaches and players have changed from the Rockets teams that the Warriors beat in the playoffs in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, it's another blow for Rockets fans, who had to watch Steve Kerr's Warriors knock out their team on their home floor, just like they did in 2018 and 2019.

But in a game where the Warriors still only scored 103 points, it was their defense that got them to the next round. The Rockets scored 89 points, and 15 of those came in the final 2:15 of the game, after the Warriors had taken a 20-point lead. Houston shot 40.5% from the field, and that's after going 6-for-7 in that hot-but-meaningless final stretch. Alperen Sengun shot 9-for-23. Jalen Green was 3-for-8. Dillon Brooks shot 3-for-9 and 0-for-3 on three-pointers.

In a tight Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors, the youthful Houston Rockets looked like the more experienced team. They held the Warriors without a field goal for over six minutes on their way to a 115-107 win. 12-0 RUN LATE IN GAME 6 FOR HOUSTON! THEY WANT GAME 7.

Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images I watched Game 6 of the Golden State Warriors first-round series against the Houston Rockets at a bar in Oakland, surround by neighbors at the birthday party of a man I knew primarily because our dogs (both doodles) are friends. At one point, I looked across the bar and realized that most of the guests were a full decade younger than me, full of energy and vigor, all unlikely to commit 30 fouls in a closeout home game.

James had been nearly indestructible early in his career, missing only a handful of games in each of his first 15 seasons. But in Los Angeles, where James headed for his age-34 seasons, he's begun to deal with more nagging injuries.
