Warriors vs. Rockets: Play-by-play, highlights and reactions
The Golden State Warriors (37-13) play against the Houston Rockets (35-35) at Toyota Center
Much has been made of Jalen Green struggles shooting 3s. Eric Gordon has made 1 of 18 3s from one Golden State game to the other. He’s such a good teammate, obviously trying to make the rookie feel better. It can happen to anyone. – 9:29 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets

Jalen Green with 100 defensive rebounds (three tonight.) He is moving up on the list of most entertaining rebounds, nearly in Carmelo Anthony territory. – 9:27 PM Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
I feel like Eric Gordon is trying to scare teams off from trading for him with the way he’s been playing the last week or so – 9:26 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Drummond now with five fouls. Harris and Curry both have four. No Grizzlies are in foul trouble. – 9:26 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets
That’s 20PTS for C-Wood! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/SQNo18fObx – 9:26 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Christian Wood’s five 3s match his season high, one shy of his career high. Rockets set up a play for him to open the half with a 3-pointer. He has 22 in 19 minutes. – 9:25 PM Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Stephen Curry isn’t moving great, and he keeps reaching at his left knee – 9:25 PM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Sixers bench livid, but if anything that might have been a foul on … Seth Curry? He jumped back into Jaren Jackson. Didn’t look like anyone else touched him. – 9:23 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Doc Rivers just drew a tech for his reaction to the no-call on Seth Curry to end regulation – 9:22 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
OT in Philly. Tied 111-111 as Memphis gets away with a potential foul on Seth Curry’s GW attempt. – 9:21 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets down nine heading into second half and most dangerous part of any game against the Warriors. As much as has changed with Warriors, they still dominate third quarters, with by far the best net rating, outscoring opponents by 17 per 100 possessions, in Q3. – 9:21 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Ja Morant misses the free throw. Seth Curry not able to hit it on the other end and we are now headed to OVERTIME. – 9:21 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Doc Rivers is irate over no foul call there on the Seth Curry shot. He’s still yelling at the official. Game is going to overtime tied at 111. #Sixers – 9:20 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Sixers up 110-109 with 33 seconds left. – 9:14 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Some super high difficulty bank shots down the stretch of this game from Harris, Thybulle and Curry. This game rules. – 9:14 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Seth Curry started this game 0/9. He’s since knocked down some huge hoops. That’s a big shot. Philly up 110-109 now with 33.3 ticks left. #Sixers – 9:14 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Hell of a fourth quarter for Curry after the poor shooting start. All nine of his points are in this period, including that go-ahead bucket with 33.3 seconds to play. – 9:13 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Warriors 61, Rockets 52 at half. Warriors with 38 in the second quarter when Wiggins scored 12 of his 17. Wood with 17. Curry outscores Green, but just 10-8. KPJ with eight assists, matching his career high for a half. – 9:09 PM Salman Ali @SalmanAliNBA
Kevin Porter Jr. has 8 assists at the half; that ties his high for any half in his career.
Porter has now recorded 7+ assists in nine of his past 14 games played, including six straight – 9:08 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Another efficient 17 points on nine shots for Andrew Wiggins in the first half. Warriors scored 38 second quarter points. Defense steady like always. They’re up 61-52 in Houston. Two Moses Moody 3s in a spot start. – 9:08 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets

When KAT tortured the Warriors last Thursday with 23 pts in 17 first-half minutes, they doubled him after halftime
Christian Wood (17 pts, 13 minutes) is following KAT’s blueprint – 8:59 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets desperately need Eric Gordon to find his shooting touch. Has missed all 14 3s in past 3 1/2 games (0 for 4 on 3s tonight.) He’s averaging 19.4 points in wins, 11.9 in losses. – 8:58 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets

It’s a trade deadline bonanza on @EmpireOfTheSuns.
We’ve got a 3-part series coming that highlights a few different needs and some targets the Suns should consider.

Alperen Sengun’s defense when he’s on an island with a quick guard/wing is the primary reason he’s best suited to play center in a drop scheme. – 8:45 PM Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Rockets start the second quarter 1-of-9 and Silas calls timeout after Thompson hits a 3 to put the Warriors up 5. No Porter, Green, or Wood on the floor for this stretch – 8:44 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets
So quick so smooth pic.twitter.com/IcPQl8C89l – 8:44 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
The switch everything defense not going as well for the Rockets second team as for the starters. Warriors on a 9-0 run. Tough minutes to start for Sengun. – 8:44 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Christian Wood is DOMINATING to start. #Rockets were down 10-0. He’s got 13 points now with Houston up 19-18. – 8:29 PM Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
#Rockets ran Cash as an ATO. Instead of someone coming off both screens with an Iverson Cut like the play usually starts with, Jalen Green slashed inside after one screen and dunked it down. Great wrinkle by Stephen Silas. pic.twitter.com/XiJAk4obsL – 8:27 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Through 4 1/2 minutes, the Rockets were 0 for 7. Have gone on a 13-2 run to the lead since. Wood 3 of 3 on 3s. Was 1 of 6 from deep on Friday. – 8:26 PM Houston Rockets @HoustonRockets
