A Game 6 victory on the road by the Golden State Warriors has ended the Houston Rockets season. Playing without Durant for the final five and a half quarters of this series, the Rockets have to be devasted and disgusted with the outcome. As a result, this loss will have a long-lasting impact on the franchise.
See, the Rockets have been obsessed with beating the Warriors ever since they began their reign in 2015. Houston has relentlessly worked at building a team to compete with Golden State. A heavy emphasis on analytics and 3-point shooting led the Rockets down a wild path.
