The NBA playoffs continued today. The Rockets hosted the Warriors in Game 2 of their series at home. In the first game, the Warriors took the lead by winning away against the Rockets, going up 1-0 in the total score.

In the first quarter, the Rockets changed their strategy and launched their offense through Jalen Green, taking a 14-7 lead and gaining the initiative. However, Amen quickly got into foul trouble. In a scramble late in the quarter, he lost his balance and knocked over Butler, causing the latter to get injured and leave the game. The Warriors had an unlucky start and lost their core player, falling into a passive position. The Rockets, on the other hand, performed brilliantly on both ends of the court and established a 10-point lead. In the second quarter, the Rockets started aggressively and launched a 12-2 offensive wave to widen the gap to 20 points and take control of the game. Although the Warriors quickly responded with a 7-0 run, they were unable to pose a further threat and entered the second half trailing by 14 points. After the break, the Warriors attempted a comeback, but Jalen Green got hot and scored 15 points in the quarter to withstand the pressure and maintain a double-digit lead. In the final quarter, a flagrant foul by Jalen Green gave the Warriors an opportunity. However, the Warriors, who had closed the gap to around 10 points, couldn't keep up their scoring momentum. Jalen Green, on the other hand, scored 8 consecutive points to extinguish the Warriors' hopes of a comeback once again. In the end, the Rockets easily defeated the Warriors at home and tied the total score of the series.
