Bet on Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors with Bet365What to Expect from the Game between Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets Coach Ime Udoka said that a physical game was good for the Rockets as Jimmy Butler and Dillon Brooks continued their pushing and shoving of each other from Game 2 in Game 4. Jimmy Butler and the Warriors came out on top this time around as Butler scored 27, including all his free throw attempts in the game, to lead the Warriors to a 3-point victory. The Rockets missed 12 free throws, and Alperen Sengun, who finished with 31 points, was restricted in the last minutes. Fred VanVleet missed a game-tying three-point attempt as the buzzer went. However, Game 4 was chippy and full of tussles, with the officials handing out four technical fouls, including an episode of shoving involving Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks. We expect Game 5 to be more of that as the favorite Rockets lean on their youth and athleticism to try and break down the grizzled old Warriors. Read more here.
