\"Warriors<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u00a0are aiming to bounce back in a massive way with Game 6 of their first-round series coming.<\/p>\n

The club suffered a blowout loss to the\u00a0Houston Rockets<\/a>\u00a0in Game 5, pushing their lead to just 3-2 after failing to close the series out in five games.<\/p>\n

Golden State was dominated by halftime, giving them the majority of the second half to rest their key players.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Butler<\/a>, who suffered a nasty fall and pelvic injury in Game 2, certainly benefited from the rest, as did\u00a0Stephen Curry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Draymond Green<\/a>\u00a0— as the Warriors’ core is older stars.<\/p>\n

Houston aims to extend the series, returning back to their home floor to try and take down the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Golden State was without one piece of depth against the Rockets in Game 5, however, as young forward\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>\u00a0was absent with an illness.<\/p>\n

The former lottery selection has plenty of buzz around his name after falling out of the rotation late in the season — though he’s logged one playoff start when Butler was absent.<\/p>\n

Steve Kerr offers Kuminga update<\/h2>\n

Evidently, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that Kuminga simply had a migraine — hence the illness tag — and will be good to go for Game 6.<\/p>\n

While Kuminga isn’t in the rotation, he provides depth as a tall, athletic wing, which might be of service for Kerr, as Golden State has struggled with the Rockets’ size and physicality.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the Warriors will want to close out Houston in the Bay Area, not offering any more optimism that the Rockets can erase Golden State’s 3-1 lead entirely.<\/p>\n

With Curry, Butler and Green rested — with Kuminga back on the bench — the Warriors need to be ready to go in Game 6 to advance to the second round, as the winner of the series will take on the\u00a0Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
