After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors survived the Rockets 105-101. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
