The Golden State Warriors are trying to eliminate the Houston Rockets from the 2025 NBA playoffs on Friday night. The Warriors are hosting Game 6 in San Francisco and enter with a 3-2 series lead. The Rockets already staved off elimination once, running away with Game 5 for a blowout win, and now they’ll look to force a Game 7.
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are no strangers to the NBA postseason. The duo has won four championships together in Golden State under coach Steve Kerr, but was in need of a boost at the trade deadline and Jimmy Butler has provided that and more.
The Rockets, meanwhile, have a balanced attack led by All-Star big man Alperen Sengun, a capable scorer in Jalen Green and an athletic second-year wing in Amen Thompson. Houston has home-court advantage in the series, but, with the Rockets’ lack of playoff experience, they are considered the underdogs heading into the matchup.
