Eason, who has been out of action for more than a month because of fitness concerns, in a post on his official Instagram account, taunted Warriors. “Warriors, come out to play. Warriors, come out to play. Yeah! It’s like that.”

Rockets registered another important win, this time against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 132-126 at the Paycom Center on Wednesday.

It was the Rockets’ 10th consecutive win in the competition which kept them within touching distance with the 10th-placed Warriors.
