In this tiebreak battle between the Rockets and the Warriors, the Rockets performed poorly in the first half, 12 points behind. The Warriors quickly opened the score with their accurate three-pointers, hitting 11 three-pointers in the game, and the Rockets' defense was unable to deal with it. Although the Rockets tried to adjust their strategies to limit the Warriors' outside shooting, the Warriors' offense was as fierce as the tide, and the Rockets' defense was difficult to contain.

Although the Rockets are behind, Hilder became the highest scorer in the game with his outstanding personal performance, scoring 22 points. His three-pointers and breakthrough scores once made the Warriors' defense difficult, but the Rockets' overall offense is still unstable, and there is a lack of scorers who can withstand pressure at critical moments. The instability of the offensive end has made the Rockets unable to effectively narrow the point difference. In the third quarter, the Rockets recovered 3 points at one point, and the scene was tense. However, their offense still lacks stability, misses many key opportunities, and fails to overtake. Faced with the Warriors' steady performance, the Rockets failed to complete the counterattack.

Curry's recovery and the Warriors' counterattack

In the fourth quarter, Curry recovered and helped the Warriors quickly open the score with his accurate three-point shot and excellent basketball IQ. The Rockets' defense was difficult to deal with Curry's offense, and in the end, the Warriors won 103-89 and successfully advanced. After the game ended, Ethan's emotions and Hilder's encouragement, Ethan, a young Rockets player, was excited and shed tears due to the defeat. Although the Rockets tried their best, they failed to change the ending. In contrast, the Warriors' Hilder performed well and received praise and embrace from coach Cole after the game.

Summary and Deep Thought

Although the Rockets counterattacked in the third quarter, they lacked stable scoring points on the offensive end and failed to make a comeback successfully. The Warriors have consolidated their position as a champion-level team with their outstanding performances from Curry and Hilder. The Rockets' future is still full of variables, and whether they can rise in the following season is still a question worth thinking about.
