On May 3, the 6th Battle of Fire and Warriors fought at their doorstep. Although the Warriors lead 3-2, once they lose this game, they will be equalized. The tiebreak will be held at the Rockets' home court. The Warriors need to win this game as much as possible and end the series soon, but the Warriors lose again. With the Warriors 3-3 Rockets, the Clippers 3-3 Nuggets, the West has reached 2 tiebreakers, and two advanced teams emerged. In the first five games, the Warriors started well and defeated the Rockets 95-85 away. In the second game, Amen Thompson accidentally knocked down Butler, causing the Warriors to be injured and the Warriors lost 94-109. In the next two home games, the Warriors won 2 consecutive games with the Rockets, 3-1 in a big score to win the match point. The Rockets won Game 5 131-116, and the suspense of the series is back. In the first two quarters of the 6th game, the Rockets led the Warriors, and the Warriors were behind 48-53 and were in a catching-up state. In the third quarter, the Warriors won 3 points and entered the final battle in the fourth quarter by 2 points. As soon as VanVleet scored 3 plus 1, Jaylen Green scored 2 points, the Warriors 84-92, and the game trend was not good for the Warriors. Less than 7 minutes in the fourth quarter, VanVleet made a key three-pointer, the Warriors trailed by double digits 89-101, and the Warriors scored 5-15 in this quarter, and Cole called a timeout.

The Warriors missed the reversal and lost to the Rockets 107-115 in this game. Curry scored 29 points and 7 rebounds, while Butler scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. In this way, the Western Conference playoffs will have two series games to tiebreak in the first round, and the Rockets are more likely to eliminate the Warriors. Because the Rockets played at home after the game, and they were generally younger, in the long 7-game series, the Warriors veterans probably couldn't withstand the counterattack of the Rockets' young talents. Curry, 37-year-old Butler and Green, 35-year-old, were too tired. They couldn't seize the lead 3-1 and were tied. The Rockets' chance to advance.

Nuggets are also tied with the Clippers by 3, and the Nuggets are more likely to advance to the second round of the playoffs 4-3. First of all, the Nuggets will be at home in the next game, with home advantage, fans' cheers and referees' call may not be beneficial to the Clippers. Secondly, like the Warriors, the Clippers also face physical fitness problems for core players. Harden is 35 years old and Leonard is 33 years old. He plays 7 games in 14 days, and each game is a fast-paced and high-intensity game. Can the veterans of the Clippers bear it? The Clippers have been out of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and may miss the second round again this year.

predicts that two teams that played tiebreaker at home will eventually advance 4-3. The Western Conference semi-finals will be the Thunder vs. the Nuggets, and the Timberwolves will fight the Rockets. What do you have?
