Warriors lose to the Rockets in Game 5, creating ugly playoff history

According to an article written by US media F/W reporter Ishane Batacharia. The Golden State Warriors set a new NBA shame record in a 131-116 loss to the Houston Rockets.

Golden State Warriors failed to continue their 3-1 lead over the Houston Rockets in the first round and won Game 5, losing to the No. 2 seed 131-116. It was a must win for the Rockets, who played with the necessary hunger to ensure their season stays alive. The Rockets have been defensive experts all season, but the Warriors have found ways to keep scoring to beat the Rockets to win. Game 5 is different because the Rockets guards have done one of the greatest jobs we’ve ever seen in modern playoff history. The
Rockets allowed the Warriors starter to score just 40 points from five players, the lowest score for a starter in playoff history.

Curry scored only 13 points (4-12 shots), becoming their highest-scoring starter. Sister Bo (3-7 shot) Butler (2-10 shot) both scored only 8 points, while Green (3-4 shot) scored 7 points. The Warriors scored 36 points in the four-man game, and Hilder gave the team's starter a total of 40 points with his own 4 points (2-6 shot). The team scored 116 points, with 25 points (9-18 shots), Knox II (14, 5-13 shots) and Spencer (11, 5-7 shots) also hit double digits.
Faced with a very radical defense, the Warriors' starters cannot change their fate on the offensive end. Amen Thompson is one of the best defensive performances in the playoffs this season, completing five aggressive steals in just 12 minutes in his 34-minute total.
Houston's starter shines on the offensive end, headed by Van Vreet's 26 points (8-13 shot). Amen scored 25 points (8-12 shot) on his defense, while Dillon scored 24 points (7-13 shot). The three were enough, but Shin Kyung's 15 points (6-9 shots) and nine rebounds and nine assists were also an integral part of the victory.

This is a much-needed victory for the Rockets, who must win a away game to force Game 7. Their next game will be played at the Warriors at home, with the home crowd determined to send their team into the second round. It is unlikely to reappear with Curry’s 13 points or Butler’s 8 points, especially when they’re in front of home fans.
The future is not yet confirmed, but what we know now is that in terms of scoring, the Warriors may have just created the worst starting five in NBA history. Indeed, I didn’t expect that the result of Game 5 would be like this. I hope I can adjust my state in time after returning to home!
