Gerald Green scored 29 points (8-of-15 on 3s) off the bench, while Chris Paul (28 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds) and Eric Gordon (30 points, 7 assists) were breathtaking as Houston's starting backcourt. But led by 57 combined points from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors (31-8) simply had too much firepower and eventually pulled away from the Rockets (27-10) in a 124-114 victory at Toyota Center in Houston. - As expected, James Harden (hamstring) was out for the Rockets, while Kevin Durant (calf) sat out for the Warriors. - Thursday's postgame show explores the Warriors' offensive dominance and why the injury to Luc Mbah a Moute (dislocated shoulder) and the recent ineffectiveness of P.J. Tucker put the Rockets in a quandary when it comes to matching up with Golden State on the defensive end. - The show also touches on the postgame report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the Rockets plan to sign Green to a guaranteed contract for the remainder of the season, as well as the potential implications it could have for the remainder of the rotation — including Tucker, Mbah a Moute, and the struggling Ryan Anderson. - #Rockets #NBA #Warriors - Learn more about your ad choices.
