Adam Wexler: #Rockets beat the Warriors, 106-96, hold Steph Curry to 3 pts (1-10 FG, 1-8 3ptFG). Houston is 52-27 & will clinch the no. 2 seed if they get 1 more win or the Lakers get 1 more loss. Houston can finish no lower than 3 seed. I’ve got postgame on @SpaceCityHN with Calvin – NEXT!

Charged up end of the half between Warriors and Rockets. Included some Ime Udoka words toward Steph Curry as he left the court. Draymond Green had a technical and a tripping foul right before buzzer. Rockets just kept missing the free throws. – 9:39 PM

Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry and Gary Payton II will be listed as questionable for the Warriors tonight vs Nuggets. Butler has a forearm strain, but it’s minor. Curry still has that bruised tailbone. Payton could make his return from absence from thumb injury. – 4:17 PM

Watch Stephen Curry drop 37 on Lakers in Warriors win in potential first-round playoff preview
The key for the Warriors? They were +8 when Curry was off the floor in a game Golden State won by 7. Also, it was not Luka Doncic’s night.

LeBron James says the Warriors “always figure it out” by adding talent around Stephen Curry. But when asked about Draymond Green’s bullish stance on GSW’s championship chances, James said: “I got to worry about us. I can’t be worrying about other teams.

Reaves has been drilling 3’s all quarter, and hit his 9th total, before LeBron’s steal gave LA a chance to trim the lead to 2 with 19.8 left, but Finney-Smith couldn’t get it to go.
Curry likely sealed it at the FT line on the other end, making it 123-116 with 15.0 left. – 12:40 AM

More on this storyline
Stephen Curry split two Denver Nuggets defenders, knocked down a 20-foot pull-up shot while being fouled and let out a scream while stomping his feet. Curry and the Golden State Warriors continued to make noise Friday night, winning their fifth straight game with a 118-104 victory over the Nuggets at Chase Center. “[There’s a] sense of urgency down the stretch,” Curry said. “The feeling of where you are in the standings, every game mattering. And the idea that the chess match of ‘how do we win this particular game?’ becomes a little bit more important. He added: “We thrive off of that. That’s why we’ve been so successful for this many years. Because as the stakes rise, the lights get brighter, we tend to level up.” -via ESPN / April 5, 2025
Stephen Curry, whose three-point play pushed the Warriors up by 15 with 2:30 remaining, was asked if the Warriors are playing like a team at a championship level. “We’re playing like that,” Curry said. “We have a lot of work. I’ve been saying that since this run started. We still have a lot of work to do to finish the year strong. You are seeing an identity on a night-to-night that we understand how to win games. Whether it’s games where tempo is a lot faster, you got to score or if it’s a grind-out defensive game. We’ve played better in fourth quarters with leads. All the things that championship-caliber teams do, we’ve been doing and it’s clearly different than two months ago. -via ESPN / April 5, 2025
