Buddy Hield gave the Warriors a 102-101 lead on a sidestep 3-pointer with 3:18 left in the fourth quarter, the hosts first advantage in six minutes. Butler pushed it to a three-point advantage with a tough layup over two defenders a minute later.

Through the first four games of their first-round matchup against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors hold a commanding 3-1 lead. With just one game left before advancing and upsetting the second-seeded Rockets, the Warriors seem to have a winning game plan.
