The Golden State Warriors edged the Houston Rockets 109-106 in a tightly contested Game 4. Draymond Green's pivotal defensive play helped seal the victory, as he prevented Alperen Sengun from scoring in the final seconds. Despite his limited scoring, Green's defensive contributions were crucial, earning him a +17 rating. However, his performance drew mixed reactions, particularly from former NBA star Reggie Miller, who praised Green on air, prompting a response from ex-teammate Eddie Johnson, who criticized Miller for perceived bias. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry struggled offensively, scoring only 17 points after a strong Game 3. Jimmy Butler's return for the Miami Heat saw him score 27, while Brandin Podziemski's notable 26 points added depth to the Warriors' efforts.
