Warriors Vs Rockets Scores And Highlights Of December 31st Game

Golden State is listing him as day-to-day after an MRI revealed a bruise but no structural damage in his lower left leg. Take that guy out of the mix and the geometry of the game completely changes for Golden State.

“He did more today than he did yesterday, so that’s progress”, interim head coach Luke Walton said before Thursday’s game.

The Warriors did not have three players score in double figures until the final 90 seconds of the third quarter.

“Last night was embarrassing”, Thompson said.

Bryant was treated to another ovation as the game ended, chants of “Ko-be! echoing around the arena before he exchanged embraces with several Celtics players”. Before the conclusion of the said match, the Golden State Warriors stars were preparing to show off their skills despite the absence of their leader.

TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan had 34 points, six rebounds and five assists in Toronto’s victory over Washington. Frank Kaminsky had 20 points.

Guard Evan Fournier had 17 points and five assists. “We can’t give up 60 points in the first half like we did and expect to win”. Jordan Clarkson scored 24 points and Lou Williams had 19 as Los Angeles stopped a four-game slide. J.J. Redick led Los Angeles with 26 points. P.J. Tucker added 22 points for Phoenix. And he’s been the biggest factor in the 29-2 defending champions’ historically spectacular start.

Terrence Ross added 14 points for the Raptors (20-13).

The Warriors are so far out in front of the National Basketball Association that they have nearly ensured a playoff berth after 30 games.

And so, the Mavericks went six games over.

CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler tipped in a basket with 1.2 seconds left in overtime and the Chicago Bulls beat the Indiana Pacers 102-100 Wednesday night despite playing without Derrick Rose.

With Curry out and Thompson and Green struggling, the Warriors were led by a rather unexpected source of points – journeyman guard Ian Clark, who had a career-best 21 points off the bench.

This is the second of three meetings between the two teams and the Rockets should be feeling good about their chances this time after already losing to the Warriors earlier in the season.

The 23-point margin was Golden State’s worst defeat since a 31-point loss to Houston in 2013, according to STATS.

Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and Ricky Rubio tied his franchise record with 17 assists and added 10 points.

Meanwhile, Golden State finished out a stellar calendar year that saw the team go 72-12 in the regular season, the second-highest mark of all-time.

Gordon Hayward scored 14 points for the Jazz, who shot 35 percent.

Bogut also made a sizable contribution with nine points and 11 rebounds.

PORTLAND, Ore. – CJ McCollum scored 29 points to lead Portland past Denver. Livingston, who started in place of the reigning MVP, scored 13 points in the contest.

CJ McCollum scored 32 points to lead the Blazers, who saw a three-game winning streak end.
