Coach Ime Udoka expressed disappointment but urged the team to use the setback as motivation for future improvement. Key players like Fred VanVleet underperformed, and the team's 3-point shooting could not match the Warriors'. This loss marks the fifth time the Warriors have eliminated the Rockets in recent playoff history, overshadowing their regular-season accomplishments.
Houston had their chances but ultimately faltered in Game 7, failing to translate regular-season success into playoff victory.
