But in a game where the Warriors still only scored 103 points, it was their defense that got them to the next round. The Rockets scored 89 points, and 15 of those came in the final 2:15 of the game, after the Warriors had taken a 20-point lead. Houston shot 40.5% from the field, and that's after going 6-for-7 in that hot-but-meaningless final stretch. Alperen Sengun shot 9-for-23. Jalen Green was 3-for-8. Dillon Brooks shot 3-for-9 and 0-for-3 on three-pointers. The Rockets' ball-hawking defense even lost the turnover battle, 11-7, as the Warriors took unusually good care of the ball. The one Rocket who shined in Game 7 was sophomore Amen Thompson, who had 24 points and nine rebounds to go along with some lockdown defense. The Rockets may be out of the playoffs, but the 22-year-old Thompson played far more maturely than you'd expect in his first playoff series.
