The Houston Rockets came up short in a hard-fought seven-game series against the Golden State Warriors. It was a thrilling first-round showdown in front of 18,055 fans at the Toyota Center. While the Game 7 loss stung, there's a growing sense that this young Rockets squad has a bright future and will be back stronger.

So I’ll point to this: Road teams have won nine of the last 13 NBA playoff Game 7s. Make it 10 of 14. Curry and the Dubs find a way to stay on the right side of their razor-thin margin for error and win Game 7 in Minneapolis, much to Alex Rodriguez’s chagrin. Warriors in 7.

The Warriors play against the Timberwolves in game 1 of their NBA Playoff series tonight. Fans can watch this game for free.
