The Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-108 on Thursday, ending the Warriors' eight-game winning streak. The game took place at the Houston Toyota Center. Stephen Curry, a key player for the Warriors, left the court injured during the first quarter.
Marcus Smart of the Rockets was ejected after a confrontation with Charles Bassey. The Warriors' loss marks the first time they have been defeated in their current streak. Alperen Şengün of the Rockets contributed significantly, scoring 19 points and recording 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal. His performance helped secure the win.
This victory ends the Warriors' impressive run of eight consecutive wins. The Warriors had been dominant in recent games, but the Rockets' strong defense and key contributions from players like Smart and Şengün proved too much. Curry's injury adds concern for the Warriors' future performance. The game was part of the NBA regular season, continuing the league's intense competition.
