01:22Warriors got off to a fast start. Two of their last nine into deflection. Tari Eason, his first minutes on the floor. Gives it to Thompson. In traffic. Scores. Looney knocked it up and through the hoop. Green lit it up in game two. Jalen Green, the 38. Nine points at eight made threes in that game. But he healed for three. Got it. Nice look. And it's Looney. He's a beast. Down on the glass. Last shot of the first quarter. It's in.
01:52And Buddy healed. Delivers a big one at the end of the first quarter. From the free throw line all the time. Warriors up four and Stephen Curry is 0 for four. Has not scored as Buddy healed. He is on one right now.
02:09Shane Good once again. Gets a touch. Draymond Green on this table. Jump hook. He's good. Got a friendly roll.
02:17That six rebounds has been his biggest contribution. Jimmy Butler back to a cut. Great feed from Jones. Seems to be even throughout the playoffs. We've seen a lot more zone period in the league. As Fred Van Vliet dribbles into a three. I'm a little surprised.
02:37The guys are worth coming off and shooting the ball in rhythm from three. They cannot allow that to continue.
02:45Here's Buddy healed once again. Here we go. Buddy healed. He's got another three ball. First round by the Knicks. And the Thompson twins making an aim for themselves. Here's Looney. Drops his shoulder. He can match.
02:58Moody just missed his second three. And now Green and Shane Goon. Extra pass. Easton in the corner. Cash. Good ball movement. And they find the open man in the corner. Tari.
03:11He's got a reset here. Rockets are with the Warriors. Step for step. Butler rises up. Jump shot is good. That's a spot. Maxi bound.
03:20He's going to have to go.
03:21Boone Green made eight threes in game two.
03:26Grimont Green on the take. And he lays it in with a left hand.
03:29He's being aggressive offensively. You're pretty good if you're the Warriors. And you're up eight. And Steph Curry hasn't scored.
03:35Who has been a dominating force in game seven's past.
03:41Majemski with that strong hand on the left hand.
03:44Just on that, Jimmy Butler said after game six, what do you need from the other guys on this team?
03:48He said confidence. Keep them confident. I keep telling him, do what you all are doing.
03:52Not only y'all, but on all of us. We're going to win together. We're going to lose together.
03:56Thank you, Lauren. Good stuff. And buckets are hard to come by for the Rockets.
04:01As Buddy Heald laces another one. Heald.
04:05He sends that pass from Sheik Lui. Gets a steal now. Heald sets it up. And Heald is all smiles.
04:13The Pearly Whites are out.
04:14The zone defense. They've been in this for a long time now. And Houston has not been able to solve it.
04:21A foul by Adams.
04:23Healds. Second jump. Great athlete.
04:29Curry's got his first.
04:32Stephen Curry drills a long three-pointer. Nearly 30 feet. Thompson behind the back. Thompson. Wow! What a finish!
04:42This is reminiscent of game one. Houston scored just 34 points in that one.
04:47He's won that game as Shingun gets it deep and scores.
04:50No good handball.
04:52They will just not double-team Shingun unless he gets a foul.
04:57Oh! Pajewski goes strong this time. No block here. Pajewski on the ground.
05:04Van Vliet kept it alive. Thompson out of the pack.
05:07Turnover. Jimmy Butler.
05:09Here's Shingun. Spins. Leaves it. Thompson with a dunk.
05:13In transition.
05:14Shingun on Pajewski. A couple of jab steps. Now he goes. The lefty. Scores. Wow! Big bucket there by Pajewski.
05:23Warriors led by 12 at the half.
05:26Then took a 15-point lead. Here's Curry now. Three for three. And cashes one in.
05:33It's with two defenders on that.
05:36Working off the screen. Brooks that extra pass. Tari Eason in the corner drives. Eason scores a tough basket.
05:45Strong finish.
05:46Thompson's got Pajewski's attention here. He gives it up. Curry trying to get three. Eason right in his back pocket.
05:54And Curry! What a finish! Oh my goodness!
05:58Stephen Curry with the...
05:59Kamega now. And Eason gets a block. That's what he's known for.
06:06Eason hounded. Spins his way out of it.
06:09Adams up there tall for the rebound.
06:11Long. Second chance for the Rockets. Smith makes him pay.
06:22Curry and Green. That dynamic tandem.
06:25Green trying to playmake here. Buddy Hill has not scored.
06:29And there's Jimmy Butler.
06:31When you need a big bucket.
06:35Eason guarding Butler. Here's Green. Wide open. Green lays it in.
06:39That's the Golden State action.
06:42Ben's joining Thompson, Shingun, and Jalen Green.
06:46Murray dancing with Smith. Gets to the basket. Lays it in.
06:50Both. And they continue to play him one-on-one.
06:54He's under 50% in the series.
06:58Step three. Gets an opening.
06:59Uh-oh.
07:00Yeah, something happened to Thompson's leg.
07:03You talked about the calf earlier.
07:04That's what caused him to stop on this.
07:07Extra pass. Brooks passed it up.
07:09Heel's been good on Brooks.
07:11Brooks gets a little space and hits a jumper.
07:14Tidally contested jump shot.
07:16Seven game series.
07:17Say, Butler, Lauren, thank you.
07:19He has unlocked this Warriors team in a significant way.
07:23As Shingun, patient.
07:25Able to put the top defensive rating in the NBA.
07:28And Stan, they won 17 of their last 19 games to the finish line.
07:33As Stephen Curry, able to put one in inside.
07:37In this corner already.
07:39And look, he's doing it all different ways.
07:40We saw the drive.
07:41There's a cut for a basket by Curry.
07:44Fred Van Vliet, tough shot from the baseline.
07:48With eight and a half minutes to go.
07:50Green, playmaker, sets up on the heel.
07:52That's his first points of the second half.
07:55It's a playoff career high for Heald.
07:59He's at the controls.
08:01Here comes the blitz.
08:03Curry able to get around Adams.
08:05All the way to the rim.
08:06Steph Curry putting on a show here.
08:09Great pride in improving his defense.
08:12Double team comes.
08:13Brooks steps into one.
08:15Off one leg.
08:17Scores.
08:18Dylan Brooks.
08:19It was awkward on a big time tonight.
08:21But he's had some great defensive stands as well.
08:24Brooks trying to draw the foul.
08:25Butler goes to the basket.
08:27Butler lays it in.
08:28Back to a ten-point Golden State lead.
08:31For Jimmy Butler.
08:34Van Vliet.
08:35Van Vliet with the deflection.
08:37Heald on the run.
08:38And Van Vliet pushes Jimmy Butler.
08:43Buddy Heald had a breakaway layup.
08:46This one starts with the great defense by Buddy Heald.
08:50He sets the screen for Butler.
08:55Jalen Green on him.
08:56Butler gone to work.
08:58And Jimmy Butler delivers a huge bucket.
09:02But early on, ten, you know, nine rebounds now.
09:05They took one away.
09:06That was steals.
09:07This is where the daggers come out to.
09:09Stephen Curry rips the cords.
09:13He was debating, I think, right there.
09:15Sniffing it now.
09:17Curry.
09:18Buddy Heald.
09:19Buddy Heald for three.
09:23Mike Dunlady has seen his team go on a 12-0 run.
09:27A quick burst.
09:29But the Warriors, with all that championship pedigree,
