Man this game was a tough pill to swallow.
The Golden State Warriors lost Game 5 to the Houston Rockets 98-94 and will now have to win the final 2 games of the Western Conference Finals to get back to the NBA Finals.
This is unfamiliar territory for this rendition of the Warriors, as the team hasn’t faced an elimination game since the 2015-16 season when Kevin Durant was still in a different jersey. What they can take solace in however, is that they managed to come back from a deeper deficit against a very strong Oklahoma Thunder team that year.
