The Golden State Warriors could not close out their opening-round series against the Houston Rockets on their home floor in San Francisco. A completely tepid offense in the opening stages of the fourth quarter allowed the Rockets to build a final lead that wound up being insurmountable for Golden State.

Fred VanVleet led the way for the Rockets, as he nearly recorded a triple-double in 40 minutes on the floor. VanVleet finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and eight assists while shooting 7-of-13 from the field and 6-of-9 on long-range shots.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors came up short on Friday night as they suffered a disappointing 115-107 defeat in Game 6 against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors lost Game 5 in Houston, and they've now lost again at Chase Center, as the Rockets have tied this series at 3-3.
