It was always going to be a tough task for the Rockets to go into the Bay Area and beat the Warriors in Game 6 (even with Chris Paul), but without CP3, Houston came out firing from 3-point land.
The Rockets had a 17-point lead at one point in Game 6, but the Warriors finally found their rhythm offensively in the second half and blew the game open to force a Game 7.
The #Warriors crush the #Rockets 115-86 to force a Game 7 in #Houston Monday night.

Only 2 of the games in either conference final were truly close at the end. Yet here we are with a pair of game 7s, for the first time since 1979. Cant wait! #NBA

The worst part for Houston? Plenty of other Warriors chipped in too.

Unsung hero..KD..he sacrificed his scoring to play the warrior way. If he plays like that again the warriors will cruise to a championship. Most people didnβt see it today but he for sure did

- 4 2018 All Stars
- Signed Kevin Durant after winning 73 games
- Key Injury list: Kawhi, Love, Kylie, CP3
GGs I guess. Hopefully CP3 will be back for game 7.

So Chris Paul joined a team that him and James Harden or Eric Gordon werenβt drafted to but everyone hates on the Warriors βsuper-teamβ narrative even though they drafted Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green (and won a βship without Kevin Durant).......

I was stunned to see halftime guys thinking Rockets would win this game. That would have been epic defeat for GS. You knew Warriors would get going in second half.

Shout out to the Southern California native Klay Thompson for being the best player on the floor during the biggest game of the Warriors season.

Steve Kerr what the hell you be telling this guys at half. Because once the 3rd quarter hits. The warriors become unstoppable!!!

β Tim Reynolds (@ByTimReynolds) May 27, 2018
Never.
No team has ever trailed by 17 (or more) after one quarter and won by 29 like the Warriors did tonight.
Boston trailed Syracuse by 18 after one quarter on Feb. 24, 1961 and won by 16.

So much to love about Klay's performance, but above all, it felt like he reminded the Warriors about their identity early in the third. He kept moving, kept getting open, and the ball finally found him.
