SAN FRANCISCO — In a thrilling performance that stunned fans, the Golden State Warriors managed to snap a five-game losing streak on Thursday night, defeating the Houston Rockets 108-104. Despite the absence of their two biggest stars—Stephen Curry and Draymond Green—the Warriors displayed resilience and teamwork to secure the much-needed win.
For a team that has struggled in recent weeks, this victory could not have come at a better time. With Curry sidelined due to a calf injury and Green out with a knee issue, the Warriors were forced to rely on their supporting cast to step up.
Klay Thompson Shines
Klay Thompson delivered a standout performance, scoring 32 points, including key three-pointers in the final minutes that ultimately sealed the win for the Warriors. Thompson’s shooting was on point, as he led the team in scoring and provided the spark needed to overcome a determined Rockets squad.
Rising Stars Step Up
Not to be overlooked, young players like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody also contributed crucial minutes, showcasing their development under the pressure of filling the void left by Curry and Green. Kuminga, in particular, finished with 18 points, showing glimpses of his potential as a future star for the team.
A Hard-Fought Win
The Rockets kept things competitive throughout, with Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün both putting up solid numbers, but the Warriors’ defense tightened in the final moments. Despite a late surge from Houston, Golden State held on for a much-needed win.
Head coach Steve Kerr praised the team’s effort: “We’ve been through a tough stretch, but tonight’s win shows the heart of this team. Everyone stepped up, and it’s a testament to our depth.”
What’s Next for the Warriors?
With the win, the Warriors improve to 14-12 on the season and will look to build momentum in their upcoming games. Curry’s return is uncertain, but Golden State’s ability to compete without their stars will be crucial moving forward.
For the Rockets, the loss continues their struggles this season, but their young core remains promising.
As Golden State gets back on track, fans are hopeful that this victory will be the catalyst for a turnaround, with the ultimate goal of securing another deep playoff run. Stay tuned for more updates as the Warriors push ahead without their stars!
