At the end of the NBA regular season, the Warriors easily defeated the Rockets 133-110 to achieve a 23-point victory, and the final moment of the game was reduced to garbage time. In this way, the Warriors won 6 consecutive wins, the Rockets lost 3 in a row, the Warriors are firmly in the top 10 in the West, and the advantage over the Rockets has been extended to 4 wins.
The Warriors completely shook off the rocket, which also made Yang Yi's prediction slapped in the face. Previously, Yang Yi talked about the qualification of the Rockets and the Warriors for the play-offs during the live broadcast, when the Rockets were in a winning streak, and the Warriors' record fluctuated significantly, and the Rockets had narrowed the gap. Yang Yi gave the view that the Rockets will replace the Warriors and get a ticket to the play-offs.
The reason given by Yang Yi is that the Rockets are becoming more and more united, while the Warriors are in the stage of dynasty falling apart. At the same time, Yang Yi also said that the Warriors' physical fitness is not superior, Kerr's coaching and command problems, in contrast, the Rockets have a great advantage, and under the leadership of Van Vleet and others, morale is very high.
Unexpectedly, soon after Yang Yi's prediction, the Rockets suffered a wave of consecutive defeats, while the Warriors won a wave of consecutive wins, and the gap between the two sides changed from 1 win to 4 wins in an instant, which directly made the Rockets' hope of advancing to the playoffs become very small, I have to say that Yang Yi's prediction is probably going to be slapped in the face again.
The Warriors are currently 42-34 and 10th from the bottom, the Rockets are 38-38 and 11th in the West.
First of all, they still have 6 games left in the regular season, because the Warriors still have an advantage over the Rockets, so if the Rockets want to enter the play-offs, it is not possible to just tie the record, they need to win 5 more games than the Warriors in the remaining 6 games.
