Steve Kerr's team stumbled in game five, failing to close out the series while losing 131-116 to Ime Udoka's team. Now, with the Warriors back at the Chase Center, they will undoubtedly be hoping home-court advantage puts this series to bed.

The Golden State Warriors escaped the Houston Rockets in Game 7 of their first-round matchup, setting a date in the Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who cruised past the star-studded, albeit shallow, Los Angeles Lakers.

Looking at the overall picture, the Golden State Warriors have done a marvelous job in turning what was supposed to be a wasted season into a postseason appearance.
