The Golden State Warriors are back at Chase Center for a crucial Game 6 against the Houston Rockets on Friday night. Houston survived an elimination with a 131-116 victory <\/a>over Golden State and they are one win away to force Game 7 in the first-round playoff series. Steph Curry and Co. would look to wrap up the series to enter the conference semifinals. <\/p>\n

The Rockets have dropped only one first-round playoff series in the last five attempts, and the only loss came against the Warriors in 2016 when Steph Curry went on to win the NBA championship. The previous game was a dominant show from the Rockets, and three starters highlighted 20-point performances in Game 5. <\/p>\n

After conceding a heavy lead, Steve Kerr called Curry, Butler and Green to the bench to keep them fresh for a home game. Their bench players stepped up, and three of them scored in double figures, including Moses Moody\u2019s team-high 25 points. The Dubs haven\u2019t lost a first-round playoff series after taking a 3-2 lead, and they would look to extend this run on Friday in front of the home crowd. <\/p>\n
