The Warriors were one of the best teams on the road last season. They were ranked number two in defensive rating in the league last season and that was one of the main reasons they won the title. But this season, it has been a very different story. The Warriors are ranked 24th in terms of defensive rating and they had the worst record on the road this season.
The reigning champions finally snapped their eight-game road losing streak as they secured the victory against the Rockets. Klay and Curry combined for 74 points and they had 17 three-pointers between them. However, the Warriors were made to dig deep as this young Rockets team pushed them to the limit.
