The Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 108-94 on Wednesday night, in a game full of ups and downs. On the bright side, they won, and Jordan Poole and Draymond Green both excelled. They also did it despite being shorthanded. But it wasn’t as convincing of a win as you might expect against a team on a 17-game skid, and it came with Steph Curry suffering a tailbone contusion.
A lot to like and a lot to hate. Let’s revisit the pregame keys to victory.
