The Golden State Warriors controlled the Houston Rockets from tip-off and rebuffed a late surge to win 115-109.
The biggest storyline coming into this game was the referees, but injuries are the biggest takeaway afterwards. Steph Curry suffered a dislocated middle finger on his left hand, while James Harden took an inadvertent poke to the eye and appeared to be in major discomfort. Both would finish the game, fortunately.
The “Hamptons 5” all scored in double digits, with Kevin Durant leading the way with an aggressive 29 points.
