The Golden State Warriors will need Steph Curry during Game 7 against the Houston Rockets.
Their backs are against the wall, and they need to go big, or else they will literally go home.
The good news for the Warriors is that Curry has been in this situation before, and he has always proven himself.
According to NBA on ESPN, Curry has the fourth-highest points per game average in Game 7s, behind only Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant.
Durant has the most with 36.2 points per Game 7, while James is behind him with 34.9, Jordan is behind him with 33.7, and Curry follows Jordan with 32.6 points per game.
Does this mean the Warriors are favorites to win Game 7 against the Rockets?

Curry has definitely proven himself in previous postseasons, but that doesn’t mean his team has the advantage this weekend.
This Rockets team has a lot of fight, and they just don’t quit.
On both ends of the court, they have found ways to dominate the Warriors and make life incredibly hard for them.
Anyone expecting the Warriors to have it easy on Sunday will be sorely disappointed.
Plus, Game 7 will be held in Houston, and the Rockets fanbase has been waiting a very long time to see their team advance to the second round.
Everyone in the building will be enthusiastic and high-spirited, and the energy will be very high.
One of the things that the Warriors have is a lot of experience.
Between Curry, Draymond Green, other players, and head coach Steve Kerr, they have seen their fair share of playoffs, and they have been in tough spots before.
That means they have the expertise that can help them overcome the Rockets, even if they are playing on the road.
Is Curry about to improve his Game 7 average and punch his ticket to the second round?
