In the last game, the Warriors chose to give up strategically early in the face of a big score behind. The main lineup only played for two and a half quarters, and Butler, who played the most, only had 25 minutes. Cole's arrangement is an effective rest adjustment for this team that is older and has certain injuries. It is worth mentioning that the team's substitute player performed well in the last quarter and successfully suppressed the offensive of the Rockets' starting lineup. Moody scored a team-high 25 points, and Knox and Spencer also scored in double digits, showing outstanding strength.

They opened fire in the first half and scored 76 points, establishing a huge lead of 27 points.

Judging from the current situation of the two teams, the Rockets are still in a desperate situation of fighting against each other, and the Warriors strategically gave up in the last game, obviously intending to end the series at home today.
