Rockets Have Plan Ahead of Game 4 vs. Warriors

The Houston Rockets find themselves trailing 2-1 in their best-of-seven series against the Golden State Warriors, who are led by four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry.

It's a scary position to be in, especially for a team that hasn't participated in a playoff series together, but Rockets guard Fred VanVleet, a one-time NBA champion himself, has a calming message for his teammates ahead of a critical Game 4.

I think every chance you dont win a game you feel like you could win is a missed opportunity, VanVleet said via The Athletic insider Kelly Iko.

This is an experienced group that they have.

Its been a good team for the second half of the year.

We knew that they were going to respond with a guy out, as any good team will.

Theres no scrubs in the playoffs right now.

Yes, its definitely a missed opportunity, but we cant really have that viewpoint.

We have to bounce back and get ready for Monday.

The Rockets cannot change the past, but they can manipulate how they feel about Game 4, and that mindset could be the difference between winning and losing the matchup.

Stay together, Rockets big man Jabari Smith Jr.

said via Iko.

We good.

Regroup, man.

The Rockets will return to the floor for tonight's Game 4 against the Warriors, which tips off at 9 p.m.

CT from inside the Chase Center in San Francisco.
