00:00Houston as the two seed in the Western Conference.
00:03Can they even put up a fight in the opening round of the playoffs?
00:08So far, not so much.
00:10Led by Jimmy Butler in his return to game number four, a team-high 27 points for Golden State.
00:17The Warriors take a commanding 3-1 series advantage over the Rockets with a 109-106 victory.
00:25The Dubs did close as a three-and-a-half, four-point home favorite for game number four last night.
00:31Houston does cover our first over in the series.
00:342-0-3 in a hook does sky over that number.
00:37But most importantly, DRS from the series docket, Golden State now leads three games to one.
00:43And Jimmy Butler in his return last night, well over his points prop of 19-and-a-half,
00:48a team-high 27, including clutch play after clutch play down the stretch for the Dubs.
00:55And by the way, just looking at some of the highlights right now coming across my computer,
00:58what was up with the court last night?
00:59I mean, if we can get a picture of the court up here in just a little bit,
01:02I would really like to get a response from you, Ben.
01:04But having said that, the Houston Rockets went on the road in a must-win situation in game number four.
01:09They shot 49% from the floor.
01:11They shot 48% from three-point range.
01:13Easy dub, walk away, 2-2 tie as we head back to Houston.
01:16That wasn't the case because you didn't make your free throws.
01:1961% as a team, 19 of 31.
01:21You shoot a measly 70% from the free throw line, you win that basketball game going away.
01:27Now, also understand this.
01:28Sometimes it's just more about volume from three-point range because 11 three-point shots
01:32went down for the Houston Rockets as compared to the Golden State Warriors who knocked down
01:3517 triples last night.
01:37That's the ultimate equalizer.
01:38But when you are looking in game situations and say, somebody needs to rescue me.
01:42Steph Curry yesterday, 39 minutes, 6 of 13 from the floor, only 17 points.
01:46Why?
01:47Because Jimmy Butler stepped up with 27.
01:49But Jemsky stepped up with 26 points at home.
01:52This was a guy that was struggling to even make it through games with a stomach bug earlier
01:55in the series, really playing good basketball.
01:57But then I can't wait to get back to the Houston Rockets and say, how did we lose this game?
02:01I got 31 from Shingun.
02:03I got 25 from Fred VanVleet, my point guard.
02:06Jalen Green, just step up and have an average night and we'll be fine.
02:09Eight points, minus 11, three of eight from the floor and benched in that basketball game.
02:14I don't know how that happens.
02:16You must have your superstars play the best and their peak performances have to be on
02:21the road to carry your squad.
02:22You barely lost that basketball game and your best player didn't show up.
02:26I don't know if you say like, hey, we'll get it back in, you know, game number five
02:29and all that.
02:29No, nonsense.
02:30This was your chance to get a game in Golden State.
02:33Let's not forget that.
02:34Game number three, Jimmy Butler didn't even play and you still lost that game as well.
02:38The Golden State Warriors just have that championship pedigree and maybe the Houston Rockets
02:42just aren't ready, Ben, for prime time.
