The Warriors will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals, with Game 1 on Tuesday. It's only the third time the No. 6 and No. 7 seeds in a conference will face off in a series since seeding began in 1984, joining the 2023 Warriors-Los Angeles Lakers and the 1987 Rockets-Seattle SuperSonics series, according to ESPN Research.
Led by 33 points from Buddy Hield, Golden State had three 20-point scorers in a Game 7 for the first time in franchise history. Stephen Curry added 22 points, 13 of which came in the fourth quarter, while Jimmy Butler III had 20. Amen Thompson led the Rockets with 24 points.
In an offensive slugfest, the Rockets shot just 40.5% from the field with more turnovers (11) than 3-point field goals made (six). Hield himself had more 3-pointers made (nine) than the Rockets. Golden State also had 18 3-pointers made compared to 18 total attempts from deep for Houston.
