After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors held off the Rockets 108-102. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
