It’s hard, in the NBA, to win when your stars don’t deliver. And it’s impossible for your stars to deliver night-in, night-out. Steph Curry last week had arguably the best three-game stretch of any player in the NBA this year, thoroughly dominating as the Golden State Warriors won a highly-impressive slate of games, beating the Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, and Denver Nuggets in a span of four games.
But he couldn’t sustain that performance on Sunday against a fourth consecutive playoff-bound Western Conference team. The Houston Rockets came to the Chase Center Sunday evening and exacted some revenge against a Dubs team that has had their number this year, winning 106-96.
