Perhaps it was fitting that Game 7 between the Warriors and the Houston Rockets was played in Houston because it was a bit like something out of the Old West. Jimmy the Beard and his Rockets rode into town in their black hats jerseys and seemed to say they were going to be running things in this wild west.
By halftime, the Rockets were up by eleven points as they looked like the better team through the first half. The Warriors looked overwhelmed out of sorts while the Rockets looked like the team with all the championship experience after two quarters of this deciding game.
