Curry helps Warriors claim decider against Rockets

In the decisive game of their Western Conference first-round play-off series, Stephen Curry argued that the Golden State Warriors needed to “dig deep.”

Before the Rockets’ 3-3 lead in the best-of-seven series, the Warriors had a 3-1 lead going into the final game of the series in Houston.

As part of the Warriors’ quest for a Western Conference championship against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Buddy Hield hit nine three-pointers in his game-high 33th inning, helping the Warriors advance to the semi-finals.

When asked what was required to secure the victory, Curry responded, “There is a lot of resilience and everyone is stepping up.”

“Everyone has been talking about our team in terms of our execution, our energy, and everything else,” said one player.

We ostensibly understood that we had 48 minutes to dig in and blocked it out. Everyone made a contribution. “Buddy Hield was unbelievable.

Jimmy Butler, who signed for the Warriors from the Miami Heat in February, totaled 20 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.

It means the world to us to create chemistry on the fly, foster trust on the fly, and deliver in the manner of Game Seven, Curry added.

“Mission accomplished, step one,” the phrase says.

In contrast to the Warriors’ seventh-place finish, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference regular season.

The Houston decision to lose the NBA play-off series left them without the opportunity to become the 14th team to emerge from a 3-1 deficit.

In their Eastern Conference semifinal play-off series, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-112 to take a 1-0 lead.

Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers in scoring with 23 points, while teammate Tyrese Haliburton added 22.

Following a 4-0 first-round play-off series victory over Miami, the Cavaliers, who finished top of the Eastern Conference, were knocked out for the first time in the playoffs this year.
