The Golden State Warriors, a historically successful franchise, are facing a crucial Game 7 against the Houston Rockets after losing two consecutive games, putting them on the brink of elimination from the playoffs. Despite their recent playoff experience and having won four championships in the last decade, the Warriors are struggling to maintain their 3-1 series lead. Draymond Green has openly criticized his teammates for a perceived lack of effort, which he believes has contributed to the Rockets’ resurgence.

Green emphasizes that the Warriors need to exert greater effort, especially in securing rebounds and making second-chance plays. With turnovers and steals favoring the Rockets, the Warriors must tighten their game if they hope to advance to the next round against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 7 promises to be a critical test for Stephen Curry and his team as they aim to reclaim their playoff momentum.
