6:34pm, 7 May 2025Basketball

1-3 behind, with the fierce fighting spirit of a back-to-back battle, the Rockets completely beat the Warriors at home! The three scored 20+ points, and they were fully fired from the beginning of the first quarter, and they were pressing down on the whole game, dragging the series back from the edge of the cliff!

Fires in the first quarter. The Rockets' 15-0 win against the Warriors

just started, and the two teams went back and forth, but the Warriors took the lead for a short time and suddenly lost power! Missed three-pointers + made a series of mistakes, and was caught off guard by the Rockets' 15-0 hit. VanVleet scored high scores in a row, and after the first quarter, the Rockets opened directly 40-24.

The second quarter avalanche, the Warriors scored 1 point in 5 minutes!

is even more exaggerated. The Warriors completely collapsed in the second quarter, and Santos scored 1 point in the first 5 minutes! The Rockets took the opportunity to hit 14-0 again, widening the gap to 30 points in one breath. Curry tried to stop the bleeding, relying on fouls and three-pointers to chase points, but Amen Thompson repeatedly restricted one-on-one and successfully suppressed the rhythm. At the end of the half, the Rockets led the lead with a score of 76-49!

Disarming in the third quarter. The Warriors' main force got off work directly in the second half. The Warriors made a little progress, but it was too late, and the score difference was always above 25 points. Seeing that there was no improvement, Cole directly withdrew from the main force after half a quarter and announced his surrender. At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were already ahead 107-80.

The substitute fired after a firefight in the last quarter. The Rockets replaced the main force to stabilize the victory. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors substitute scored a 7-0 climax under the leadership of Knox, and once pushed the score difference to 17 points. The Rockets dared not relax and sent their main force back to stabilize the situation. Then the two sides had an argument, Shin Kyung and Davis ate T, and Spencer was directly expelled. The situation was once full of gunpowder, but the Rockets took it steadily with free throws and rhythm control. In the end, the Rockets won a game 131-116 and chased the series to 2-3!
