The Houston Rockets have advanced in the NBA playoffs. It probably won't be long until the Warriors join them there.
The Rockets secured their trip to the second round with a 100-93 victory over the Utah Jazz in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
Golden State, much like Houston, entered Wednesday with a three-games-to-one series lead over their first-round opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors will attempt to match the Rockets and eliminate the Clippers in five games when they host Los Angeles in Game 5 at Oracle Arena later Wednesday night.

Should the Warriors also advance to the second round to face Houston, it would represent a rematch of last year's Western Conference finals, in which Golden State prevailed in seven games.
