The Golden State Warriors were making a valiant effort to avoid facing the Houston Rockets in a road Game 7. The Warriors will play in Game 7 on Sunday, and regrettably, that worst-case scenario is occurring.
Warriors guard Steph talked about his attitude going into Game 7 after the team’s crushing defeat in Friday night’s home Game 6.
“If you don’t show up with that appropriate mentality, then you got a long vacation ahead of you,” Curry said. “You know you don’t want to be the team that’s packing up. We’re packing for a week getting on this plane to go to Texas and hopefully go to Minnesota right after.”
“That’s the approach,” Curry added. “I know we’re all excited about the fact that we still have life left even though these last two games haven’t gone our way.”
In Game 5 against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors were completely awful. They appeared to have a chance to score in Game 6 and go with a victory. Instead, in a startling moment in the fourth quarter, they were unable to find a basket.
“There were times we would make a run and couldn’t get over the hump,” Curry said. “Like, you understand there’s pressure to win on your home floor. They’re playing great. Like, you got to give them credit. It’s not like we’re just laying an egg and rolling over. We’re fighting. We’re trying to compete.”
Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets is scheduled for Sunday at 8:30 p.m. EST.
