Warriors vs Rockets NBA Rivalry Overview

The Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets rivalry has been one of the most intense in the NBA, particularly during the late 2010s when both teams were championship contenders. Here’s what you need to know about their matchups:

Key Eras of the Rivalry

2015-2019 Playoff Battles

The Warriors and Rockets met in the playoffs four times in five years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019).

2018 Western Conference Finals was the peak of the rivalry—a 7-game series where the Rockets led 3-2 before Chris Paul’s hamstring injury, and the Warriors came back to win.

2019 Western Conference Semifinals went 6 games, with the Warriors winning again despite Kevin Durant’s injury.

Stephen Curry vs. James Harden

The rivalry was defined by Curry’s Warriors (with KD, Klay, Draymond) vs. Harden’s Rockets (with Chris Paul, later Russell Westbrook).

Harden’s Rockets famously employed an 'iso-heavy' and three-point-heavy offense to counter the Warriors’ motion-based system.

Regular Season Drama

Games were often high-scoring, with both teams setting three-point records.

Notable moments:

Klay Thompson’s 37-point quarter (2015) vs. Houston.

James Harden’s game-winning three (2019) in overtime.

Recent Matchups (Post-2019)

After the Warriors’ dynasty slowed due to injuries and the Rockets’ rebuild post-Harden, the rivalry cooled.

2023-24 Season: Both teams were in different phases—Warriors still competing with Curry, Rockets rebuilding with young talent (Jalen Green, Alperen Şengün).

Head-to-Head Playoff Record

Warriors lead 4-0 in playoff series (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019).

Overall Playoff Record: Warriors 17 wins, Rockets 11 wins.

Legacy of the Rivalry

One of the defining rivalries of the 'Three-Point Era.'

The Rockets’ 'switch-everything' defense was designed specifically to stop the Warriors.

Many believe the 2018 Rockets (65 wins) were the biggest threat to the KD-era Warriors.
