Golden State have had a great season so far, breaking records throughout their campaign – capped off with a 73-9 record that beat the 1995-96 record of the Chicago Bulls.
Now that they have done what they set out to do, defending their championship is up next and the Rockets are trying to pull a big upset over them.
Only sneaking by in eighth place, the Rockets have not done as expected and are seen as an overwhelming underdog in this series.
However, they still have the squad to contend, given that they can all fix their chemistry and get their act together against one of the most complete squads in the league.
James Harden is still a scoring machine, while Dwight Howard can be effective whenever he tries to, but the Warriors are still with Steph Curry who is widely considered the Most Valuable Player of this season.
Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the rest of the team have also stepped up and have accepted the challenge given to them to defend their title.
In the regular season, the Rockets have failed to beat the Warriors in three tries, with their 114-110 loss as the closest they've been in getting a win over Golden State.
Many expect this to be a sweep for Golden State, but taking Houston lightly could prove to be a big mistake.
