Rockets stand up to Warriors but can't finish the job

The Rockets stood up to the NBA's top team, but the Warriors showed once again they're usually up for the test.

The teams entered the fourth quarter of their late-Tuesday contest tied, but the Warriors came out on top 123-110. Stephen Curry finished with 35 points, six rebounds and nine assists. Nineteen of those points came in the first quarter, as he helped the Warriors get off to a 47-26 lead.
