Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets game recap

The Warriors were off to a solid start leading 71-43. However, timely bursts from Tari Eason (27 points) and Jabari Smith Jr. (21 points) saw the Rockets fight back into contention. Amen Thompson was another impact player off the bench with 18 points and 11 rebounds as Houston beat the Warriors 37-25 and 39-23 in the third and fourth quarters.

Golden State also botched their free throws as they missed 18, which eventually allowed the Rockets to get back into the contest. They lost the rebounding battle 49-47 and made just 64% of their shots from the charity stripe. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench to prop up 27 and 23 points respectively. Draymond Green had 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 15 points and three rebounds.

The Warriors were helped by buckets from Kuminga and Anderson in overtime as they put some distance between the two teams. The Rockets were clearly out of juice and weren't able to get their shots to go in. The win sees the Warriors improve to 5-1, and they head to the Capital One Arena next to take on the Washington Wizards on Nov. 4. The Rockets host the New York Knicks, followed by the San Antonio Spurs.
