Warriors Extend Winning Streak
In a crucial showdown for the Western Conference play-in spot, the 10th-seeded Warriors faced off against the Rockets. With Curry, Thompson, and Jackson-Davis combining for 78 points, the Warriors secured a comfortable 133-110 victory over the Rockets, widening the gap between the two teams to 4 games. Head coach Steve Kerr expressed satisfaction with the team’s current form.
Intense Battle for Play-In Berth
The Warriors and Rockets engaged in a fierce battle as the regular season drew to a close. However, the Rockets, after a recent winning streak, suffered two consecutive losses, while the Warriors surged with a five-game winning streak. This made today’s matchup a decisive clash for the play-in ticket.
Efficient Offense Leads to Victory
Not only did the “Splash Brothers” Curry and Thompson shine in the first half for the Warriors, but starter Jackson-Davis also displayed high efficiency with 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. The Warriors dominated the game from start to finish, ultimately defeating the Rockets by a 23-point margin.
Ethan’s Taunts Backfire
Ethan, wearing a “Warriors come out to play” shirt, became the subject of ridicule after the Rockets’ loss. Previously taunting the Warriors on social media and at the arena, Ethan’s antics were met with Payton II’s mockery in the locker room after the game.
Thompson Calls Out Ethan’s Behavior
Scoring 29 points in the game, Thompson criticized Ethan’s behavior, calling it “a bit boring.” He questioned the meaning behind Ethan’s antics, especially considering he hadn’t even played in the game and was merely standing on the sidelines.
Coach Kerr’s Focus on Momentum
Despite virtually securing a play-in spot with the win, Coach Kerr emphasized the importance of maintaining the team’s winning momentum. He stated that the team’s focus remains on continuing their winning streak rather than worrying about the standings.
- Looking Ahead
With the play-in berth within grasp and six games remaining, the Warriors are focused on their performance in the upcoming matches. Kerr remains confident in the team’s current form and looks forward to seeing how they will perform in the remaining games. (SMBET)
