The Golden State Warriors clash with the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of an intense series with plenty of drama. Tipoff takes place on Wednesday, April 30 at 4:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. MDT) with a live broadcast on TNT, and streaming live on demand.

The narrative around officiating has dominated the first four games of the Warriors-Rockets playoff series. But as Golden State looks to close out the series during Game 5 on Wednesday night, there's one infamous official whom we haven't heard from during the heated series: Scott Foster.

The 2025 NBA playoffs continue Wednesday with a pair of Western Conference Game 5s. First, the Houston Rockets (-4.5, 204.5) return home and aim to stave off elimination from the Golden State Warriors. Then, the Los Angeles Lakers (-6.5, 209.5) try and keep their season alive against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
