    2018 Western Conference Finals, Game 7 - Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets

    In the eighteenth episode of NBA Campfire, Sonny Giuliano and Vinney Zambito revisit the night that the mighty Golden State Warriors nearly saw their bid for a back-to-back go down in flames... if only the Houston Rockets didn't miss 27 three-point attempts in a row. First, Sonny and Vin set the scene, taking a look at the summer's of 2016 and 2017, which brought Kevin Durant to the Bay, and Chris Paul to H-Town. Then they discuss what made the Rockets such a unique and challenging foil for a Warriors team that dominated everyone else in the postseason in 2017 and 2018. Then the guys get to the game, breaking down Houston's early success, Golden State's invincibility and the Rockets struggles from downtown. Rockets fans may want to avoid this one -- though Sonny stands by his midseason 2018 prediction that the Rockets would win the NBA Title -- but everybody else is in for a good one in the latest episode of NBA Campfire!
