With the Golden State Warriors dropping Game 6 to the Houston Rockets and the series now tied 3-3, NBC’s broadcasters didn’t hold back. During the broadcast, they emphasized that Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler had already given everything they could — playing extended minutes and putting up strong numbers — and it was now on the rest of the team.
“You can’t ask or really get any more out of those two,” they said. “It’s gonna be other guys. They wear the Warrior uniform — they have to be there if you’re gonna win a Game 7.“
They pointed out a crucial stat: the Rockets, ranked 23rd in bench scoring during the regular season, outscored Golden State’s highly ranked bench 32-26. Add that to the Rockets winning second-chance points and points off turnovers, and it’s clear: if the Warriors want to advance, their depth has to show up in Game 7.
