Golden State: The Warriors had a tough night in Houston. They were up by six points with just under three minutes left, but things took a turn for the worse.
In the final moments, Steph Curry had a chance to put the game away but missed a crucial three-pointer. It was a heartbreaker. Gary Payton II grabbed the rebound, but chaos broke out as he tried to pass it off.
In the scramble, the Rockets ended up with the ball. Jalen Green was fouled, and he calmly sank both free throws, putting Houston ahead with just 3.1 seconds left.
Brandin Podziemski had a shot at the buzzer, but it got blocked. That was it for the Warriors, who now sit at 14-10 this season. They’ll be looking to bounce back when they host Klay Thompson and the Mavericks next.
