Despite their lower seed, the No. 7 Warriors grasped firm control of the series after taking Game 1 in Houston and going up 3-1 after Game 4. But two games later, the playoff-seasoned Warriors find themselves in the same situation as the pesky, young Rockets. Win or go home.

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.

Just two years ago, he exploded for 50 points and hit 20 of 38 field-goal attempts in a Game 7 on the road in the first round of the playoffs versus the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors won that game, 120-100, before falling in the next round.
