Golden State Warriors' Three-Point Barrage Falls Short Against Houston Rockets

In a tightly contested playoff matchup, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center. The game ended with a score of 109-94 in favor of the home team, leaving Golden State with a record of 48-34 and Houston at 52-30. Despite their efforts, the Warriors were unable to overcome the Rockets' early lead.

Warriors' Offensive Struggles

The Warriors struggled to find their rhythm offensively throughout much of the game. Stephen Curry led his team with 20 points and contributed significantly with 9 assists and 5 rebounds. However, his shooting was inconsistent as he hit only 40 percent from the field. The team's overall field goal percentage stood at just 41 percent, which hampered their ability to close in on Houston's lead.

Golden State's three-point shooting was one bright spot; they connected on an impressive 40 percent from beyond the arc, making a total of 17 three-pointers out of their attempted shots. Moses Moody also made notable contributions off the bench by scoring efficiently with a field goal percentage of over fifty-seven percent and adding crucial points during key moments.

Despite these efforts, turnovers plagued Golden State's performance as they committed a total of fifteen turnovers compared to Houston’s thirteen. This disparity allowed Houston extra opportunities that they capitalized on effectively.

Rockets Dominate Inside

Houston took control early in this contest by establishing dominance inside both offensively and defensively against Golden State’s defense lineup led by Draymond Green who managed only five rebounds along with eight points for himself while contributing defensively through blocks (1) & steals (3).

The Rockets’ offensive strategy focused heavily around attacking inside where they scored forty-six points within paint areas alone – nearly double what warriors could muster up themselves!
