After the Golden State Warriors kept their season alive with a huge Game 6 win over the Houston Rockets at Oracle Arena, the Western Conference Finals will come down to one deciding clash.The defending champions tied the series at 3-3 with a thumping 115-86 victory at home on Saturday night to force a Game 7 in Houston.Throughout the season, the Rockets have made no secret of their desire to dethrone the Warriors and have continuously stated how they've built a team specifically to overcome the dominant Oakland-based franchise.They will now have one game on their home floor to fulfil that goal and James Harden wants his team to seize the moment."We'll take that," Harden said, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "So nothing changes for us. We know what we have to do. ... We're still confident. We're a confident group, and we've just got one chance."The MVP favourite had a better night than he did in Game 5 as he posted 32 points and nine assists in the heavy loss.But he committed nine turnovers and found it tough to get going offensively in the second half after a strong first period.

With Chris Paul missing last night - and likely to be out for the final game in the series - the onus was on Harden to carry the load and it seemed to wear him down.

If, as expected, CP3 misses out in Game 7, there will be a lot of pressure on the shooting guard to produce a big performance to take his team to the NBA Finals.

Defining moment

But the 28-year-old sees it as a great opportunity for Houston to take advantage of after finishing the regular season with the best record in the league.

"There's no pressure," said Harden. "It's an opportunity, though, an opportunity that we all are excited to be a part of. Game 7 at our house.

"That's what we worked the entire regular season for, is home-court advantage. We're going to come out and we're going to be ready."

Head coach Mike D'Antoni said if they were offered one final game at home to eliminate the Warriors and make it to the finals, they definitely would've signed up for it at the beginning of the season.

"So we've got what we want, now it's up to us to go get it," he said. "It will be rocking, and H-town will be fired up. It's up to us to knock them out."

It's almost fitting that this thrilling series between the NBA's best two teams will come down to a winner-takes-all encounter.

The stage is set for a memorable clash at the Toyota Center on Monday night.
