The Golden State Warriors are returning to Texas to take on the Houston Rockets for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series matchup and a chance to finish the series.

The Warriors are currently leading the series 3-1, and Game 4 was tightly contested from start to finish, with multiple lead changes throughout the game. However, the Warriors were able to get the final swing and hold on for a three-point 106-109 victory after Jimmy Butler, who returned from a pelvic injury, secured the game with free throws in the final seconds.

Butler led the way for the Warriors with 27 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1 block on 58/50/100 shooting splits. Butler has been an integral piece to the Warriors' success, not only in the Playoffs but throughout the final stretch of the regular season.
