After dropping game six of the Western Conference playoff matchup against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors are now preparing for a win-or-go-home contest against Ime Udoka's team. Both teams have fought tooth and nail to earn a spot in the second round. However, on Sunday, May 4, one of the two rosters will see their season come to an abrupt end.
Unlike the Rockets, the Warriors have been in this situation before. They know how to win closeout games, both on the home floor and in front of a hostile crowd. When speaking to the media on Friday, May 2, Draymond Green pinpointed the Warriors' hustle and effort plays as a potential swing factor.
