HOUSTON – Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors didn’t get much time to celebrate their 60th win, not with a game at San Antonio coming Wednesday night.
Curry scored 32 points, Klay Thompson had 25 and the Warriors built a big lead early and held on for a 113-106 win over the Houston Rockets to become the sixth NBA team to win at least 60 regular season games in three straight seasons.
The Warriors scored 37 points in the first quarter and never trailed on the way to their eighth straight victory.
After handling the third-seeded Rockets, the Western Conference-leading Warriors immediately shifted their focus to the Spurs, who are 2 1/2 games behind them in the standings.
”This is an important time of the year, especially with our schedule and teams we have to go up against … all playoff teams and all atmospheres that, whether it’s home or road, that we need to win in,” said Curry, who tied a career high with 10 rebounds.
James Harden had 24 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his 20th triple-double this season. Houston’s four-game winning streak ended on a night when the Rockets made just 5 of 31 3-pointers. (AP)
