Stephen Curry leads Golden State Warriors to most important win of their season

The Golden State Warriors came to Toyota Center to face the Houston Rockets in a battle for the final play-in spot and they were able to come out on top 133-110 behind a heroic effort by Stephen Curry.

The future Hall of Famer finished with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists on 64% shooting for the Warriors. Fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson also had a phenomenal night as he recorded 29 points with 7 three-pointers. Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 20 points (career-high) while Andrew Wiggins had 10 points. Chris Paul provided 8 points off the bench.

Jabari Smith Jr. scored a team-high 24 points with 4 three-pointers for the Rockets. Cam Whitmore had 17 points off the bench while Jalen Green recorded 13 points and 7 assists. Fred VanVleet finished with 10 points, 9 assists, and 5 steals.

Golden State improves to 42-34 with this win and widen the gap between them and the Rockets as they now hold a 4 game lead for the last play-in spot. This was a huge victory for the Warriors as they were able to improve their chances of making the play-in tournament and solidifying their spot in the top 10.

After a scare from the young Texan team, this dynasty has turned things around as they have won 6 games in a row. They will look to keep this momentum up tomorrow against the Dallas Mavericks.

Houston drops to 38-38 and may have saw their season slip through their fingers. After a red-hot month of March where they won 11 games in a row, that magic has started to subside and reality is starting to kick in. It looked like the Rockets could sneak into the play-in and end the Warriors season but instead the opposite happened.

This team is still very young and will look to improve their roster in the off-season to make a playoff push next year. They are currently on a 3-game losing streak and will look to bounce back tomorrow against the Miami Heat.
