The Houston Rockets will host the Golden State Warriors in a crucial Game 7 of their Western Conference first-round series. After initially trailing 3-1, the Rockets have turned the series around, winning the last two games. Golden State, historically strong in Game 7s, is led by Stephen Curry, who boasts a remarkable scoring average in such games. A Rockets victory would mark a significant NBA milestone by being the first team to recover from a 3-1 deficit three times in postseason history, further adding to the stakes of this matchup.
It's the second Game 7 between the two squads: They also faced off in a Game 7 in the 2018 Western Conference finals. The Rockets lost that matchup after famously missing 27 straight 3-pointers.
A win would make Houston the 14th team to overcome a 3-1 series deficit and the first to do so three times in NBA postseason history, according to ESPN Research.
