The @HoustonRockets stun the Golden State @Warriors!
-
Everybody remembers the last time the Rockets stepped into Oracle: James Harden’s signature game-winning three. However, he was not active tonight due to illness and injury, so the prediction for tonight was simply a blowout. It was a nearly a blowout, but one led by Houston. The Rockets came to play very early, opening 15-0 from the tip. Three players scored at least 20, led by 25 from Gordon to push them to a lead as large as 20. The Rockets hand the Warriors their first loss when starting all five All-Stars (previously 10-0), and have won all three games in this season series.
