In a gripping Game 6 showdown, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Houston Rockets, vying for a chance to advance in the playoffs. Despite holding a 3-1 series lead, the Warriors faltered, succumbing to a 115-107 defeat at home. The Rockets, powered by Fred VanVleet's stellar performance of 29 points, showcased resilience, forcing a decisive Game 7.

The Warriors struggled offensively, particularly in the fourth quarter, where star player Stephen Curry managed just three points. This inconsistency, coupled with a strong Rockets frontcourt led by Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, proved too much for Golden State to handle. With the series now tied at 3-3, attention turns to Houston for the ultimate decider.
