GAME LEADERS
Stephen Curry did a little bit of everything as the Warriors remain undefeated on the young season after Saturday’s 98-87 win in Houston. With the game hanging in the balance, the All-Star guard scored or assisted on 14 of the team’s last 16 points as the Warriors ended the game on a 16-5 run.
That game-ending run, however, wasn’t the only defining one the team went on. After sluggish play plagued the team throughout the first half, the Warriors opened the second half on a 22-4 run that turned an eight-point deficit into a 10-point lead midway through the third period.
Curry was equally involved in both game changing runs, and he completed the game with 34 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and four steals – his second points-rebounds double-double of the season.
The All-Star guard had a stingy defense behind him, as the Warriors held the Rockets to just 28 percent shooting in the second half. Andrew Bogut led that defensive effort and pulled down 18 rebounds to accompany his eight points.
