After signing tough guy Butler in the middle of this season, the Warriors' overall performance and competitiveness have improved to the naked eye. Although they were unable to win the tragic six battles in the final stage of the regular season, they won the Grizzlies in the first game of the playoffs, ranked seventh in the Western Conference, and won a playoff ticket, and encountered the young Rockets who returned to the playoffs after many years. Although the regular season record was not as good as their opponents, the experienced Warriors became the more favored side before the game.

As expected, after the first four games of the series, the Warriors took a 3-1 lead, only one step away from the bottom. On this game day, the two teams returned to Houston. The cute god Curry and the tough guy Butler completely lost themselves in this battle. The Warriors fell into an unfavorable situation of falling behind in big scores early. Head coach Cole chose to surrender in the third quarter and withdrew the main force early. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Rockets 116-131 away!

However, after returning to Houston, the Warriors who had already won the match point were in a slump. Curry, who killed God and Buddha in the past few games, was also lost in the Aerospace City under the focus of Amen's attention. In the first half, he was directly intercepted by Amen three times. He only played for 23.3 minutes in the whole game, and only scored 4 goals in 12 shots, only scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, and made 3 mistakes.

The last game of the live line, butler, who turned the tide at a critical moment, was completely crushed by his opponent in the duel against Dillon Brooks. He only played 2 of 10 on the offensive end, and only scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

On the contrary, after Cole admitted defeat in the third quarter, the Warriors' substitute players played even better, not only quickly narrowing the gap, but also forcibly forced the Rockets to re-send the main lineup in the fourth quarter. After the game, players such as Moody's, Knox, Spencer all scored in double digits.

The starting five tigers were too big to dig a hole, which prevented them from performing a shocking reversal on the road. They could only watch the Rockets chased the series to 2-3 at their home court, saving their hope of advancement.

This big victory will surely greatly enhance the morale of the Rockets. In the next game, they will rush to Golden State with murderous aura. For the Warriors, the sixth game is a life-and-death battle. Once they lose to the Rockets at home, the big score of the series will reach 3-3. By then, the Rockets, who won two games in a row, will suppress the Warriors in momentum, and the tiebreak final battle will not only hold the home advantage, but also have a younger lineup, which will also give them the upper hand in physical fitness. Therefore, the sixth game of the Fire Warriors is a battle of back-to-earth.
