Game 2 is a must-win, as the Rockets going down 2-0 in the series would swing 100% of the momentum toward the Warriors. Home-court advantage is the one thing saving Houston at this point, but will come down to the offense.

Jabari Smith Jr. had 11 points in Game 1 despite taking only three shots and playing just 25 minutes. Could the Rockets (-3.5) use him more in Game 2?

I don’t think we have to do much different,” Dillon Brooks says of Houston’s approach to Game 2. “I think we just have to trust in each other.”
