Warriors' Tactical Edge

Stephen Curry led his team with precision passing that resulted in an impressive tally of assists for Golden State—27 compared to Houston’s 18—which facilitated smoother offensive transitions and scoring chances.

Golden State's three-point shooting was another decisive factor; they made an impressive number from beyond-the-arc attempts at a rate higher than what was achieved by their opponents during this matchup (17 successful three-pointers). This long-range accuracy helped maintain pressure on Houston’s defense across all four quarters.

Defensively speaking too—the Warriors held firm under pressure—blocking two shots while maintaining discipline despite committing one flagrant foul during playtime which could have shifted momentum towards visiting players had it been exploited further down lineups or rotations within games themselves!
