The Golden State Warriors faced a disappointing Game 6 loss to the Houston Rockets, forcing a decisive Game 7 in their NBA playoff series. Despite efforts to maintain a positive outlook, both players and coaches reveal underlying fear and uncertainty about their chances. This loss is reminiscent of their previous playoff failures, particularly the notable 3-1 lead blown in 2016. The teamâs overconfidence, as shown after their Game 4 victory, has contributed to their current predicament, raising questions about their mental resilience heading into the win-or-go-home game.
