Rockets GM Rafael Stone on unrestricted FA Steven Adams, who likely played himself into a richer contract whether he returns or not: “It’s a two-way street. He has to want to be here. Every indication we have is that he does.” www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke... by @jonmalexander.bsky.social

To improve for next season, do the Houston Rockets make a major move or bet once more on the current roster's growth? “Continuity is great, but the goal ultimately is to build a championship team," Rafael Stone said Tuesday. On continuity vs. change: www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

Ime Udoka on Cam Whitmore: "We have had in-depth convos with Cam probably more than anybody. ... Ton of potential there but consistency is the main thing and he knows that."

Ime Udoka, grinning, on what he felt the Rockets were missing during the playoffs: “I’d say 90% free throw shooters and 50% 3-point shooters, that’s what we’re missing.”

Rafael Stone declined to comment on specific contractual negotiations but said on Fred VanVleet: “He's been the person and player that we hoped we were getting and we're very optimistic he’ll be with us for the foreseeable future."

Rockets GM Rafael Stone said that he still values roster continuity as a method of improvement. That won't prevent the Rockets from making changes, but "The bar for change is very high," Stone said.

After a resurgent season, was the Houston Rockets' first-round playoff loss to the Warriors a disappointment, a triumph, or something in between? "Don't be satisfied yet," Ime Udoka told his team. The Rockets hope this ending is just the beginning: www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

END 3Q: Rockets 62, Warriors 70. Houston whittled a 15-point deficit down to 3, but then missed its next four shots while Golden State made three of five to close the quarter. Rockets are dominating the paint and the glass but missed shots are a killer. www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

The Rockets are down 10, their largest deficit of the game, and have made one field goal in the last six minutes. Steven Adams already stretching at the scorer’s table.

The Warriors are turning the tables on the Rockets. Golden State is defending in a matchup zone and it's working; Houston's last four possessions included three missed shots and a turnover. The Rockets are also shooting 36.4% (8-of-22) in the paint so far in the game.

END 1Q: Rocket 19, Warriors 23. Before Buddy Hield’s buzzer-beating 3 to end the quarter, the Warriors had missed five of their last six shots. Amen Thompson leads Houston with 6 pts. Alperen Sengun with 4 pts, 6 reb. Draymond and Hield with 8 pts each for Golden State.

“It’s a weird zone. Like a bizarre one, but it works.” “Half the time we don't even know what the hell we’re doing out there.” The Rockets’ zone defense shut down the Warriors and keyed a Game 6 win. It might be Houston’s Game 7 knockout punch: www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

HALFTIME: Rockets 53, Warriors 48. Houston had a 10-point lead halved by a Curry flurry. Steph has a game-high 16 points on 4-of-10 shooting, but the Warriors are shooting 39%. The Rockets are still missing a ton of close-range shots, but outscoring GSW 24-12 in the paint.

Amen Thompson banged his head on the floor after that foul by Gary Payton. Stayed down for a minute and had to be helped up by Ime Udoka, but seems OK now. Officials rule it a common foul.

END 1Q: Rockets 25, Warriors 21. Houston’s last few offensive possessions, except for a Jalen leakout dunk, were rough. The Warriors are aggressively trapping Green when he has the ball. He hasn’t turned it over, but Rockets aren’t countering well. Şengün and VanVleet 8 pts each.

Houston's bigs have played excellent help defense on the perimeter this series. Sengun was fantastic the last few games, and Adams just helped Amen Thompson trap Steph Curry and force a turnover.

It was ruled a flagrant 1. Jalen Green knocked down both free throws and the Rockets lead 7-3.
