The Golden State Warriors clinched a convincing 133-110 victory over the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, extending their winning streak to six games! 🎉
Meanwhile, the Rockets have endured three consecutive losses, placing them four games behind the Warriors and sinking to the 10th spot in the Western Conference. With only six regular-season games remaining for both teams, the Rockets' chances of making it to the play-in tournament have all but vanished.
From beyond the arc, the Warriors were on fire, sinking 17 three-pointers out of 35 attempts. However, not every player was in top form—Stephen Curry missed two of his six shots from downtown, while veteran point guard Chris Paul nailed both of his 3-pointers in the first quarter. Lester Quinones went 3-for-3 from deep, but only during garbage time.
But the real star was Klay Thompson, who dropped seven 3-pointers on 11 attempts. This marks the 50th game of his career with at least seven shots made from beyond the arc, making him second on the NBA all-time list, just behind his teammate Curry! 🏆
