"We are excited to welcome Coach Sean McAuliffe to the Mustang family," Cypress Ranch Principal Mike Maness said. "His energy and enthusiasm for developing student-athletes was evident from the first time I met him. I am confident that he will continue to work hard and build upon the foundation that has been established in our athletic program."

The Rockets got back in the playoffs after a four-season absence with a revitalizing season under coach Ime Udoka. Houston won 52 games despite lacking a top-25 scorer and relying largely on defensive intensity — but that formula hasn't looked like enough to take four games from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

When/where to watch: Game 5, 7:30 p.m. EDT (TNT)

BetMGM says: Rockets by 4.5

The Warriors seized control of this feisty series Monday night by taking over in the fourth quarter. Butler did much of the work while playing through injury, scoring 23 points in the second half and 14 in the final period.

For all their toughness, the Rockets' lack of a top offensive player was glaring in Game 4. Leading scorer Jalen Green didn't get a bucket in the fourth quarter — not even taking a shot during the 7:02 he spent on the court — and finished with just eight points.

Yet the Rockets will draw hope from the fact they kept it close, with Fred VanVleet missing a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Houston is hoping a return home will spark Green, who hit eight 3-pointers and scored 38 points in the Rockets' Game 2 victory.
