Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets head-to-head record
Based on their closely contested last five games, the Golden State Warriors, who are leading the series 3-2, could win Game 6 against the Houston Rockets. After a resounding 131-116 victory in Game 5 on the first of May, the Rockets enter the match with fresh confidence and have demonstrated their offensive ability when competing at their best. But the Warriors have won three of the previous five encounters, including a hard-fought 109-106 victory on April 29 and a resounding 104-93 victory on April 27, demonstrating their capacity to recover and manage the tempo. Golden State's low-scoring victory on April 21 (95–85) and Houston's earlier victory on April 24 (109–94) indicate both teams can lock in defensively. If the pattern holds, anticipate another close contest in which the Rockets force another exciting game or the Warriors end the series, depending on performance in the closing minutes.
