GAME LEADERS
The Warriors closed the game on a 16-4 run and extended their winning streak to 14 games with Wednesday’s 105-93 win over the Rockets.
A close one throughout with 14 lead changes and seven ties, the game was within three points for the better part of the fourth quarter. But then Draymond Green broke an 89-89 tie with a thunderous slam with 4:24 left in the game. That came in the middle of nine straight possessions in which the Warriors scored, and the team never relinquished the lead from there. The game-ending run put the exclamation point on period that saw the Dubs outscore Houston 32-17.
The Warriors had several heroes in this one, starting with Harrison Barnes. The swingman had 15 of his 20 points in the second half, and Klay Thompson shook off a cold start and led the team with 21 points. Stephen Curry added 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and Marreese Speights had another solid effort off the bench with 15 points and eight rebounds.
