The advantage did lie with the Houston Rockets as they played Game 7 on their home turf. But there’s no substitute for experience. The Golden State Warriors held their nerves and comfortably put down the Rockets in the win-or-go-home matchup. Major contributions from Buddy Hield and clutch buckets from both Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler sealed a spot in the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And after the game, the celebrations were wholesome.
After some celebration with his teammates, Curry spotted a familiar face in the crowd. He went over Shaunie Henderson, Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife. The producer, who now resides in Houston with her pastor husband Keion Henderson, couldn’t miss the pulsating action that Game 7 promised to be. While it didn’t exactly deliver, her appearance didn’t go to waste.
Following the victory, Curry could be seen going over to greet the former Basketball Wives member. The short interaction ended with smiles from both sides as the Chef headed towards the tunnel to celebrate a huge win.
Against all odds, the Warriors suffocated the Rockets, flipping the script from games 5 and 6. Stephen Curry though, had to battle a slump to start the game. He only scored 3 points in the first half. But when it mattered most, he turned up. Curry splashed 14 points in the breakaway fourth quarter to vanquish the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center.

The Warriors’ hot streak since acquiring Jimmy Butler has now proven to be greatly effective during the biggest part of the season. But the elusive price is still a far way from the Warriors’ grasp. An equally hard matchup against the Timberwolves is up next. And while Curry is the greatest shooter the NBA has seen, Edwards not only led the league in three-point scoring, but he desperately wants to get the better of another pioneer of the game.
