In their recent 109-94 loss to Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors will have to wait for the next game to break the tie and get an important victory.
In the game, Stephen Curry was the most productive, accumulating 20 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. However, fouls were present. During the game, Jimmy Butler collided with Amen Thompson. The 37-year-old crashed to the floor on his tailbone and had to leave the game in the first quarter. Faced with this, the team and the fans were concerned and he may be out for the next games.
In total, 35 fouls were recorded. And although this did not go unnoticed by Draymond Green, who received a technical foul, nor by Stephen Curry, both agreed that the game was much less physical than the previous one, according to The Athletic. Also, as Steph mentioned, they let their game show:
There were a couple of miscues, but we know what they’re trying to do: use their size advantage at times to put pressure on us. We kept a good fight in both games. We just let Jalen (Green) get ahead a little bit and he opened up space. There’s no reason for him to get 18 three-pointers.
Next game
San Francisco’s Chase Center will host the third matchup in the series between the Warriors and Rockets on Saturday the 26th. The fourth game will be played at the same arena on Monday 28.
What is still unknown is whether Jimmy Butler will play in these two opportunities. According to what was announced, he is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday to evaluate whether or not it is convenient for him to play the third game against Houston.
