Yeah, there was no Stephen Curry. But this Golden State Warriors team still had one of the planet’s best players in Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were both out there tonight (though you might not tell by looking at the box score), and the Houston Rockets brushed them aside with ease in playing what was clearly their best game of the year in defeating the Dubs 107-86.
The Rockets won this game with effort and defense, both of which were cranked up high, and the Warriors simply couldn’t match Houston’s intensity.
