Steve Kerr led the Golden State Warriors to a hard-fought 95-85 victory in Game 1 against the Houston Rockets, showcasing their ability to win in a defensive battle. The Warriors prevented the Rockets from dictating the pace of the game and made crucial baskets down the stretch to secure a crucial road win.

In a post-game interview, Kerr praised the Rockets for their old-school style of play, likening them to their coach Ime Udoka, who was known for his physicality and toughness during his playing days. Kerr acknowledged Houston’s strategy of utilizing a big frontline with players like Steven Adams, Alperen Sengun, and Amen Thompson, which posed a challenge for the Warriors.

However, despite the Rockets’ early success, they struggled to find offensive rhythm throughout the game. Key players like Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet had difficulty scoring, shooting a combined 7-for-34 from the field. The Warriors’ defensive pressure, led by Jimmy Butler’s five steals, disrupted the Rockets’ offense and limited their scoring opportunities.

Golden State’s superior three-point shooting, going 12-for-32 compared to Houston’s 6-for-29, proved to be a difference-maker in the game. The Warriors’ spacing allowed players like Butler and Stephen Curry to hit crucial shots when needed, ultimately securing the win.

Looking ahead to the rest of the series, Kerr acknowledges that the Warriors will need to continue dealing with Houston’s physical inside game. The Rockets’ dominance on the boards, grabbing 22 offensive rebounds to the Warriors’ six, was a key factor in keeping the game close. Kerr understands the need for his team to adapt to a more physical style of play reminiscent of the 90s era, emphasizing the importance of controlling the paint and limiting second-chance opportunities for Houston.

As the series progresses, Kerr expects the Rockets to make adjustments and improve their shooting efficiency. If Houston can maintain their inside presence and rebounding advantage, the series could turn into a gritty, defensive battle. Kerr remains confident in his team’s ability to adapt and meet the challenge posed by the Rockets’ physicality.

In conclusion, Game 1 showcased the Warriors’ resilience and ability to win in different styles of play. As the series unfolds, both teams will look to make tactical adjustments to gain the upper hand. With Kerr’s experience and strategic acumen, the Warriors are poised to navigate the challenges posed by the Rockets and secure a spot in the next round of the playoffs.
