In Game 7 of their first-round playoff series, the Golden State Warriors delivered a 103-89 statement victory on the road against the 52-win Houston Rockets.
The No. 7-seeded Warriors jumped to a 3-1 lead in the best‑of‑seven, only to see Houston storm back to win Games 5 (131-116) and 6 (115-107).
But in the decisive contest at Toyota Center, Golden State’s balance, highlighted by Buddy Hield’s record‑tying nine three‑pointers and Stephen Curry’s 22 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, proved too much.
In the aftermath, veteran Golden State forward Draymond Green delivered a pointed reply to Rockets' Tari Eason’s benchside jeer “Warriors, come out to play!” posting on X early Monday: " spoiled milk."
A four-time NBA champion (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022), four-time All-Star (2016-2018, 2022), and 2017 Defensive Player of the Year, Green played a key role in the victory.
He added 16 points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in a complete performance that helped seal the win.
Eason, meanwhile, finished the game with five points and five rebounds in 16 minutes of action.
This marks the Warriors' fifth series win against the Rockets since 2015.

Looking ahead, the Warriors now turn their attention to Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
The Timberwolves, too, have a lot of momentum, having closed out the Los Angeles Lakers in just five games off the back of superstar Anthony Edwards.
In the playoffs, Edwards is averaging 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game on 42% shooting from the field and 33.3% from deep.
