The Houston Rockets face elimination tonight as they take on the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series.

The Warriors set the tone in Game 1 with a win in Houston, but the Rockets evened up the series after a brilliant performance from Jalen Green in Game 2.

Stephen Curry played the role of hero in Game 3 before things went down to the wire in Game 4. The Rockets had a chance to win the game with seconds left on the clock, but Alperen Sengun couldn't hit the shot over Draymond Green, thus leading to a Houston loss.

Trailing 3-1, Houston needs to win three straight contests, beginning with tonight's Game 5.
