🏀 Warriors Take Control with Gritty Game 4 Win Over Rockets
The Golden State Warriors pulled off a thrilling 109–106 win over the Houston Rockets on April 28, 2025, grabbing a 3–1 lead in their first-round playoff series. The victory at Chase Center keeps the Warriors just one win away from advancing to the second round.
🔥 Jimmy Butler Shines in Return
Jimmy Butler made a big impact in his comeback from injury. After missing Game 3, he returned in Game 4 with 27 points — including 14 in the crucial fourth quarter. Butler was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting all 12 attempts, and secured a key rebound in the final seconds to close the game.
🎯 Warriors' Supporting Stars Deliver
Rookie Brandin Podziemski lit up the scoreboard with 26 points and six three-pointers. Stephen Curry added 17 points, and Buddy Hield chipped in 15. The Warriors flipped the game with an explosive 18–1 run to begin the second half after trailing at halftime.
🚀 Rockets Fight Hard but Fall Short
Houston’s Alperen Şengün was dominant with 31 points and 10 rebounds, while Fred VanVleet hit eight three-pointers for a total of 25 points. Despite their strong shooting from the field, Houston struggled at the free-throw line, converting only 19 of 31 attempts.
⚠️ Drama on the Court
Tensions ran high in Game 4. Draymond Green was hit with a flagrant-1 foul after a hard contact to Rockets forward Tari Eason. To add to the drama, a shot clock malfunction went unnoticed for the first 78 seconds of the game — something rarely seen at this level of play.
📅 What’s Next?
Game 5 is set for Wednesday night at the Toyota Center in Houston. The Warriors will try to wrap up the series, while the Rockets will fight to stay alive.
