The Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in the NBA playoff game 4
The Houston Rockets fell short by just three points to secure the game 4 win against the Golden State Warriors despite leading the game almost every quarter. The Houston Rockets put together a strong offensive showing but ultimately fell short. Alperen Sengun led the charge with an impressive 31 points in over 42 minutes of play. The young center battled in the paint all night, pulling down 10 rebounds and dishing out five assists. Although his shooting wasn’t the most efficient (12-of-28), his effort and presence inside kept the Rockets in the game.
Fred VanVleet continued his consistent play at point guard, adding 25 points on a sharp 8-of-13 shooting night. He knocked down eight of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc and finished with six assists.
Amen Thompson showed his all-around impact with 17 points, nine rebounds, and two assists in just over 31 minutes. Dillon Brooks had a steady night with 11 points and six rebounds, but foul trouble became a concern— he picked up 11 personal fouls, which affected his defensive play.
Jalen Green added just eight points on 3-of-8 shooting. He managed to hit one three-pointer but had a rough night overall, committing three turnovers and collecting five personal fouls.
From the bench, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason added limited offensive production, combining for nine points. Smith shot efficiently, making half of his four shots, while Eason went 0-of-1 from the field but knocked down three free throws.
The Golden State Warriors pulled off a 109-point team effort led by solid play on their home ground. Brandin Podziemski stood out as one of the top performers, putting up 26 points on 50% shooting. He added five rebounds, five assists, and two steals in a well-rounded 40-minute performance.
Jimmy Butler was another major force, scoring a team-high 27 points. He was incredibly efficient, going 7-for-12 from the field and a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line. Butler also added five rebounds and six assists while playing nearly the entire game.
Stephen Curry chipped in with 17 points, hitting six of his 13 shots. Buddy Hield provided scoring from the wing, finishing with 15 points. He took 15 shots, converting six of them, including three makes from beyond the arc. Hield added four rebounds and three assists in just over 30 minutes of action.
Draymond Green had a mixed game. He scored only six points on poor shooting (2-of-7) but helped in other areas with eight rebounds, two assists, and a block. He also hit two three-pointers and brought his usual intensity.
