The Rockets most critical person is here! The Warriors helplessness in dominating the defensive end, and has become the Rockets defensive formation eye

On May 3, 2025, the NBA playoffs continued. In the sixth game of the Rockets and the Warriors, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 115:107 away, tied the score 3:3. The series also entered the tiebreak game. The Rockets successfully dragged the series back to their home court Toyota Center.

The key to the Rockets' winning goal in this game is not just the outstanding performance of Van Vleet and Shin Kyung, but the most important point is the performance of veteran Adams. Adams made 31 minutes into the game, made 4 of 4 shots, 9 of 16 free throws, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 blocks, and 0 mistakes. The plus and negative value reached +15, which was the biggest contributor to the team's winning.

Adams' defense in the inside was perfect in this game, which made the Warriors basically unable to score in the inside. Moreover, when the opponent cut Adams, he also made at least two free throws, and even two free throws, causing the Warriors to not continue to cut him. As long as Adams stays on the court, the Rockets' offense and defensive state will be perfect. It can be said that Adams has now become the Rockets' defensive end, and he is the key to the Rockets' winning goal on the court.

After winning this game, VanVleet said in an interview: "Adams is like a huge primitive man in the small ball era. This traditional big man knocked everyone over. We want him to fight on the court until the last moment."
