Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are back on the floor tonight as they take on the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of their best-of-seven series.

In Game 1, the Warriors made a statement and established their dominance as the more experienced team, winning the opener by 10 points.

However, the Rockets responded nicely with a 15-point victory in Game 2 to even the series and take momentum with them into San Francisco.

With Game 3 looming, the Warriors could be without Jimmy Butler, who left Game 2 with a pelvic contusion in the first half. Whether he plays or not, the Rockets will have to continue playing strong defense on the Warriors to put the series back in their control.
