The Golden State Warriors need to win Games 6 and 7 in order to return to The Finals, but they remain confident about their chances.
"I feel great about where we are right now," Steve Kerr said. "That may sound crazy, but I feel it. I know exactly what I'm seeing out there, and we defended them beautifully tonight. We got everything we needed. Just too many turnovers, too many reaches, and if we settle down a little bit, we're going to be in really good shape."
In the locker room after the game, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green were discussing how this series reminds them of one in 2015 against the Grizzlies when they were trailing 2-1 before winning three straight.
When told by ESPN that these Rockets are not the Grizzlies, Green responded assertively: "We'll be back here for Game 7."
When questioned about the team's inconsistencies of late, Green replied with: "You'd be a fool not to believe me. If you don't ever believe anything I say, believe this: We're a group of champions."
The Warriors were upbeat and confident postgame.
“We still winning this,” Green said, according to Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic. “Book it.”
