3 keys for the Rockets to come back in the series against the Warriors

The series between Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors stands at 3-2 in favor of the Californians after their victory in the fifth game on the Texans' home court. Now the series will return to San Francisco, where Steve Kerr's team could close it out. Thus, for the Rockets to advance to the second round, they would need to win two consecutive games against the Bay Area team, which could happen if 3 circumstances arise:

1. Intensity

The Rockets must capitalize on their physical superiority and continue to press the Warriors physically. Udoka has tried to do this by fielding big lineups, giving minutes to Sengun and Adams together, and especially by aiming to have Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson wear down Stephen Curry. They must keep going down that path, frustrate them, make it a close game in San Francisco, and be able to reach the end with chances, especially with Curry and Butler fatigued.

2. Jalen Green

Udoka cannot afford to have Jalen Green sitting on the bench in a close game. The Rockets do not have an excess of talent and must take a risk with their young star in attack if they want to win a tight playoff matchup. It could backfire as Green is not consistent, but this series won't be won solely on physicality...

3. Interior Game

They must continue to emphasize the interior game, both offensively and defensively. The intelligence of players like Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green has led to them losing rebounds that they cannot afford to lose in crucial moments. They should make the most of their size advantage, secure rebounds on both ends of the court, and then inflict more damage from there.
