The Houston Rockets are standing where a lot of people never thought they would be. They’re currently on the precipice of the franchise’s first trip to the NBA Finals since 1995, needing just one more win to secure it after a 98-94 win over the defending champion and purported greatest team of all-time Golden State Warriors in a second consecutive slugfest.
They now have two more games, including another at the Toyota Center, to snag one more victory and slay the Goliath Warriors, who were heavily favored in this series despite a worse regular season record than Houston.
