In a tense Game 7, the Golden State Warriors overcame the Houston Rockets with a decisive 103-89 victory, largely thanks to Buddy Hield's explosive 33-point performance. However, it was Draymond Green's leadership and emotional recovery after a disappointing Game 6 loss that stood out. Coach Steve Kerr praised Green for his pivotal role in shifting the series momentum back to the Warriors' favor after Houston had threatened to pull off a comeback from a 3-1 deficit.

Green not only contributed to the scoreboard with 16 points, but his defensive presence and ability to control the game were instrumental. The series against the Minnesota Timberwolves beckons, and if Green maintains this level of focus and leadership, the Warriors could find themselves advancing deeper into the playoffs.
