Game 6 has been a close matchup throughout, with neither side able to really pull away in the first three quarters. As of writing, however, the Rockets have mounted a 101-89 lead with a little less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Houston has been tremendous ever since, though. In Game 5, the Rockets won 131-116 after three players scored 24 or more points in VanVleet (26), Amen Thompson (25) and Dillon Brooks (24). In fact, the Rockets took a 27-point lead into the fourth quarter, leading to head coach Steve Kerr clearing the bench early.
