Rockets Spoil Steph's Return in an Exhilarating Finish on the Road
Curry's triumphant return saw clutch plays and a nail-biting finish as the Rockets ultimately spoiled the Warriors' comeback attempt.
NBA fans in the Bay Area were rewarded with a treat late on Sunday night. Future Hall of Fame guard, Stephen Curry, suited up for his team to play for his first time in more than two months. .
While the return of Steph was expected to help, their injury report was still extensive, as previously covered on Roundtable . It would be a tough test for Golden State, as the Rockets were in town looking to build on their five consecutive wins. Stephen Curry took a while to get in the stat sheet, as his minutes restriction forced Steve Kerr to bring him off of the bench.
The Warriors did quite alright without their star though. The game started 7-0 for Golden State, followed by a 6-0 run on Houston’s side. Just to make things more weird, the Warriors went on to score another six unanswered.
They don’t call it “a game of runs” for no reason. The home crowd roared with excitement as Curry checked in with just under five minutes remaining. His presence was felt right away, dropping a dime to Charles Bassey just seconds into his return.
