The Golden State Warriors finally snapped their six-game losing streak, allowing both players and fans to breathe a collective sigh of relief. According to Melbet Affiliate insiders, signs of a turnaround had already emerged in the previous game against the Thunder. With Stephen Curry making his return, the Warriors’ offense regained its structure, and his presence opened up space for others. Klay Thompson and Chris Paul began finding their rhythm, and even Andrew Wiggins — long criticized for his lack of aggression — nearly sealed that game in regulation.
Carrying that momentum into the next matchup, the Warriors picked up right where they left off. Wiggins nailed an early jumper, Curry drilled his trademark three-pointer, and the energy was palpable. As the saying goes, push yourself to be great, and live with pride. The biggest change came from Klay Thompson, who wasted no time getting into a groove. From the opening quarter, it turned into the Klay show — three consecutive triples off pinpoint assists from Paul turned the game on its head and forced the Rockets to switch their defensive scheme.
Dillon Brooks, assigned to guard Klay, took it personally and resorted to overly physical defense. But Klay, feeling himself for the first time in weeks, didn’t back down. When denied space beyond the arc, he glided into the midrange, rose up, and knocked down a silky jumper — all while drawing a foul from Brooks in the process for a rare three-point play. During the losing streak, Klay had faced heavy criticism and seemed locked in an emotional battle with himself. But with Curry back, his confidence returned, and he’s clearly making a conscious effort to reset and rediscover his rhythm.
That confidence burst wide open against Houston in the first quarter. But this is no longer the easy-win version of the Rockets — they’re a tougher team now. Even on the second night of a back-to-back and missing key player Tari Eason, Houston fought tooth and nail. With their perimeter shots not falling, they pounded the ball inside, exploiting their size to dominate the offensive glass. What looked like a brute-force approach actually proved highly effective.
Recognizing the shift, the Warriors adjusted in the second quarter, collapsing the paint and daring Houston to shoot from the outside. On offense, they leaned into pick-and-roll action to target Alperen Şengün in mismatches. Though Şengün has emerged as a Most Improved Player candidate this season, the previous night’s grueling battle with Anthony Davis had clearly taken a toll. The Warriors’ veterans read his fatigue like a book and attacked accordingly.
The result? A beautiful display of team basketball. Paul and Jonathan Kuminga hit threes, while Curry and Wiggins punished every defensive breakdown. Golden State maintained their lead through the second half, and with Houston running on empty, the Warriors never faced a serious comeback threat. In the fourth quarter, Curry — now over his recent knee injury — put the game on ice with his signature shot-making. Melbet Affiliate reports indicate that Curry’s injury was minor and hasn’t left any lingering effects, which is a huge relief for the Warriors.
Importantly, this win wasn’t all about Curry. Klay outperformed expectations, Paul and Wiggins played within their roles, Kevon Looney anchored the paint, and even bench players like Dario Šarić, Moses Moody, and Kuminga contributed meaningfully. As the saying goes, people talk behind your back because they can’t beat you face to face. This game was not just a win — it was a textbook example of Warriors basketball and a modern NBA victory in every sense.
