Kurtenbach: Those once-reasonable Warriors title hopes? They're lost baggage now
Briefly

The Golden State Warriors initially held a 3-1 lead over the Houston Rockets in their playoff series but suffered a disappointing loss in Game 6, evoking concerns about their performance.

The team now faces a crucial Game 7 to avoid elimination, with the Minnesota Timberwolves looming as a challenging second-round opponent, should they advance. This series has highlighted tactical errors and the team's overconfidence.
