Throughout recent years, the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets have become NBA rivals. These two teams have been battling for control of the Western Conference since the 2014-15 season. Now, they prepare to meet in the Conference Finals for the third time in five seasons.
So far, the Warriors have dominated this rivalry. In the three series that these teams have met, the Dubs have won all three matchups. Furthermore, the Warriors hold an overall 12-5 record in these meetings, with only one series going further than five games.
As a result, the Rockets are growing more and more eager to advance past Golden State.
