Game 7 is set to be a pivotal matchup as the Golden State Warriors take on the Houston Rockets, with coach Steve Kerr indicating that center Kevon Looney is likely to be in the rotation. The strategy will hinge on countering the physicality of the Rockets, particularly through rebounding battles with Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun, who have proven effective in previous games.

Kerr's trust in Looney stems from their decade-long partnership, expecting him to contribute significantly more than his limited minutes in Game 6. The Warriors' success will depend on finding the right combinations, balancing size and shooting to break Houston's defensive zone. Jonathan Kuminga may also earn minutes, but concerns about his fit exist due to previous performance.
