The Golden State Warriors may have beaten the Houston Rockets, but fans are not sure about their championship status.
The Golden State Warriors just defeated the Houston Rockets 95-85. Playing tough games on the roads, the Warriors won a huge victory.
For the Warriors, who had to compete with multiple Rockets rallies during the game, it was far from an easy night. However, Stephen Curry’s 35-point performance made a huge difference for them.
Ime Udoka has had his players play really hard, but that’s not always the case. Amen Thompson may remind him of Kyrie Irving, but his 8-point performance tonight didn’t give him much confidence.
Even Jimmy Butler delivered on a 21-point outing. However, even with a win, fans are sure that they could win the NBA Championship.

The Warriors may have stole Game 1 from the Rocket, but they need to do more to impress the fans. One fan claimed, “The warriors got a big lead and quickly turned on CTE and they did it all year round.”
Another Warriors fan said, “I felt pretty good about the warriors winning, saying they didn’t play legally, and that was Steph/Jimmy better than anyone.”
The warriors were on the ropes and a neutral fan squealed, writing, “It fell again due to a double-digit lead gimmick.”
One fan wrote of the NBA system: “The Warriors were rewarded for being a play-in team by playing against the biggest play-off scam I’ve ever seen.”
But not everyone was negative. One fan said, “I’m telling you… this is the Warriors team I was talking about during that 13-1 straight win… They looked like a contender for that stint… a good win today.”

The Warriors are motivated to win Game 2 against the Rockets. In doing so, they will have a solid grasp of the series as they hold the Rocket down to win two games at home.
Magic Johnson recently appointed Brandin Podziemski as the X-factor for the series. However, 14 points are not worthy of X-factor considerations.
Stephen Curry recently spoke about the Rockets player being in his youth camp. Well, curry may need to wear another masterclass to steal game 2.
Can the Warriors win Game 2? of course. But the bigger question for the Warriors is how vulnerable they have become during the game’s closure.
