The Golden State Warriors made a statement by taking a 3-1 series lead over the Houston Rockets, but two consecutive losses to even the count started to make people worry.

The Warriors lost Games 5 and 6 by a combined 23 points, including a crushing eight-point loss in Game 6 on their home court. The Warriors were certainly looking to close out the series in front of their home crowd, but a disappointing performance left everyone underwhelmed.

Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler each scored 27+ points in Game 6's loss, while Draymond Green had eight points, five rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks.

Then, in a win-or-go-home Game 7 with their backs against the wall, the Warriors' star trio stepped things up and picked up a huge victory. The Warriors marched into Houston and secured a 103-89 win over the Rockets, including a strong performance from Draymond Green.

Green dropped 16 points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and one steal in Sunday's win over Houston, bouncing back from a mild Game 6 performance. After the game, Green admitted that he was feeling some embarrassment after their Game 6 loss, adding some fuel to the fire ahead of Game 7.

"I pouted way too much last game," Green said. "So I spent the last 2 days embarrassed just at what I gave to the game, what I gave to the world. I've been dying since the last game ended to get out on the floor and prove who I am."
