Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Game Summary

The Golden State Warriors took on the Houston Rockets on Thursday, the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. A win by the Dubs would give them the season series against the emerging team. The Warriors also looked to bounce back from a 111-107 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, their first defeat in the Jimmy Butler era.

The first quarter was a seesaw battle until the last two minutes when the Dubs surged to the end. Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski combined for 12 points, while Draymond Green added four to help the Warriors grab a 28-19 lead.

Jalen Green and Aaron Holiday, who started for the injured Fred VanVleet, scored 12 points combined. The Rockets' seven turnovers were the biggest reason they trailed early.

The Warriors extended their lead to 44-27 points with 7:31 remaining in the second quarter before Houston crawled back into the game behind Alperen Sengun. Still, the home team could not turn the game around because of their poor shooting. The Rockets faced a 62-48 deficit at halftime.

After scoring three points in the first quarter, Steph Curry unloaded 12 in the second period. Moody and Podziemski helped him carry the offensive load.

The third quarter was a defensive struggle for the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. Houston edged the Bay Area team 22-20 to trail 82-70 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Rockets' late third-quarter surge carried over to the fourth quarter. Houston's 29-10 run bridging the third and fourth periods cut down Golden State's lead to two points on multiple occasions.
