With five meetings in the 2024-25 regular season — four originally scheduled, and a fifth coming via a quarterfinal elimination game of the Emirates NBA Cup 2024 — the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors know each other quite well.

The Warriors (48-30, No. 7 in Western Conference) won three of those five meetings, though Houston (52-30, No. 2 in West) won two of the final three.

There was a clear trend across those five games. The Warriors averaged 103.4 points and the Rockets 101.8, and each team's offense versus the other would rate dead last when compared to the average offensive rating among the NBA's 30 teams this season.

So, will that translate to the upcoming matchup in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs? We'll find out starting Sunday, when the best-of-seven series ( schedule ) opens at Toyota Center.

Looking back at those five previous head-to-head meetings in 2024-25, here's a look back at key statistics for each team and its players.
