Golden State Warriors Triumph Over Houston Rockets in Thrilling NBA Matchup

2025-03-01

The Golden State Warriors secured a 105-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at the Toyota Center in Houston. The Warriors, led by a strong performance from their key players, withstood a late surge by the Rockets to clinch the win. Golden State built a 24-point lead at one point, but Houston’s bench sparked a 16-6 run in the fourth quarter, cutting the deficit to 88-86 with seven minutes remaining. However, the Warriors responded with an 11-2 run to seal the game, highlighted by a crucial 3-pointer from Stephen Curry and a two-handed dunk from Jimmy Butler.

Curry finished with 27 points, while Butler added 19 points, continuing his solid start since joining the Warriors in a trade from Miami. Houston’s Tari Eason, playing in just his sixth game this season, contributed seven points during the Rockets’ fourth-quarter rally. Despite the effort, Houston’s starters were benched for the entire fourth quarter by coach Ime Udoka, who expressed frustration with their performance. The Rockets, who have lost seven of their last nine games, were led by Eason’s 25 points, tying his career high.

The Warriors improved to 27-27 on the season, while the Rockets fell to 34-20, slipping to fifth in the Western Conference. Both teams will resume play after the All-Star break, with Houston hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State visiting the Sacramento Kings on February 21.
