After Action Report

The Warriors survived the Rockets 113-109. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • Warriors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
