Regular Season Round 77: Houston R. - Golden St.W. 106-131
Date: January 17, 2015
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson scored 27 points each and the Golden State Warriors used a huge third quarter to roll to a 131-106 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Golden State bounced back from a loss to Oklahoma City on Friday night that snapped an eight-game winning streak. The Warriors led by five at halftime and used a 38-point third quarter, with 15 points from Curry, to take a 22-point lead into the fourth quarter. Dwight Howard, who missed the first two games against the Warriors, led Houston with 23 points and 10 rebounds on a night when the NBA's leading scorer James Harden scored just 11. The Rockets got five straight points from Kostas Papanikolaou to cut the lead to 110-94 with seven minutes left, but Golden State scored nine quick points after that, led by Curry's five, to make it 119-94 and cruise to the win. It is Golden State's NBA-leading 24th double-digit victory and its third win over Houston this season. It's the first time the Warriors won a season series against the Rockets since 2006-07. They finish the series on Wednesday at Golden State. A 3-pointer by Josh Smith cut Golden State's lead to 10 with three minutes left in the third quarter. But the Warriors capped the quarter with a 12-0 run, with eight points from David Lee, to go up 102-80 entering the fourth quarter. Houston had four turnovers to help the Warriors build the lead. Harden made just two of his first 12 shots and got his fourth foul on a charge with 1:44 left in the third. He was 4 of 15, including 0 of 4 on 3s, to finish well below his average of 27 points a game. The Warriors scored the first five points and the second half to push the lead to 69-59. The Rockets used a 7-1 run, with four points from Howard, to get within 70-66 a couple minutes later. Curry, who had 11 assists, got Golden State going again after that, making an off-balance layup as he was fouled. He tumbled backward and landed on top of a cameraman on the sideline before falling to the court. He made the free throw and those three points were the start of a 10-2 run that extended the advantage to 80-68 midway through the third quarter. The lead had changed 11 times and it had been tied 11 other times before Houston used a 7-0 run to make it 59-55 with about two minutes left in the first half. Smith started it when he grabbed a rebound down low and kicked it out to Trevor Ariza, who made a 3-pointer. Corey Brewer stole the ball and Smith finished with a reverse layup before another steal on the next possession led to a dunk by Ariza. Golden State coach Steve Kerr called a 20-second timeout and the Warriors regrouped and finished the half with a 9-0 spurt to a take a 64-59 lead into halftime. Courtesy of: csnbayarea.com
