Veteran guard Fred VanVleet has been brilliant in recent playoff games, and it’s perhaps the biggest reason the Houston Rockets have rallied to tie their first-round series against the Golden State Warriors at three games apiece.
A decisive, winner-take-all Game 7 is slated for Sunday night in Houston.
From Monday's Game 4 through Friday’s Game 6, VanVleet has averaged a team-leading 26.7 points and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 59.0% overall and 66.7% on 3-pointers. Two of those three games were on the road, and only one — Game 4, in the final seconds of a very close game — was a loss.
