SERIES NOTES:

After Game 7: The Golden State Warriors visited and defeated the Houston Rockets 103-pts-89 to complete a 4-games-3 best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1604 victory. With the series 1604 win, the Golden State Warriors improve their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record to 31-13 overall and 10-1 (with an active eight-Preliminary round series winning streak) in the Preliminary round.

The win order for the victorious Golden State Warriors in series 1604 was WLWWLLW: Series 1604 thus becomes the second NBA Preliminary-round series, the sixth NBA series (all rounds), and the 19th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow that win order to completion.
