• Sengun noted that head coach Ime Udoka does not permit Rockets players to publicly argue with officials, saying complaints are handled internally.
• Golden State closed the series with a 103-89 Game 7 win in Houston, as Sengun averaged roughly 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the matchup.
• Newsweek reported the Warriors were called for more fouls than Houston across the series (150 to 124), with Game 7 featuring equal personals and a 21–9 Rockets edge in free throws.
