The Warriors are 41-34 but have five straight wins, with the form on the rise. They had four wins on the road in a row, beating the Heat, the Magic, the Hornets, and the Spurs before getting back home to take down the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic 104-100.

Houston was on fire, having eleven consecutive victories before back-to-back losses to the Mavericks at home and the Timberwolves on the road. Their form was peaking in the most important part of the year, and the fans were afraid that the Rockets might have deflated in the worst possible moment.
