The defending champions, Golden State Warriors continue to have an unstable season this year. However, they have still managed to keep their playoff hopes alive with a few winning streaks. Helping the Warriors end their 3-game losing streak, Houston Rockets lost by a huge margin today. Shining bright as always, Stephen Curry led the team from the front to put on a show for the fans. One among the crowd was the famous ex-wife of former NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.?

In addition to the 3-game losing streak, the Warriors were also on a poor 11-game losing streak at away games. The Warriors seem to have one of the most contradicting records in home and away games. The team has an away record of 8-29 and one of the best home records 29-7. The losses in the away games have cost the Warriors a top 4 spot in the playoffs. However, the team continues to battle its way to the postseason after winning a championship the previous year.?
Ever since his return from injury, Stephen Curry has been of huge help to the offensive side. Scoring 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, Curry played a crucial role along with Klay Thompson‘s 29 point-performance to beat the Rockets 121-108. Though the team continues to have a tough time restricting baskets without Andrew Wiggins, the defense did not seem to be a problem today.?
