The Golden State Warriors‘ 11-game road losing streak is finally over, as Steph Curry scored 30 and Klay Thompson scored 29 to lead the Warriors to a 121-108 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night.
The young Rockets kept the game close throughout, but Golden State pulled away with a decisive 15-4 run in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The victory moved the Warriors back into sixth position in the Western Conference with only nine regular-season games remaining.
The Warriors will close out their five-game road swing in Dallas on Wednesday in what will be a crucial game for postseason positioning. The Warriors are a half-game ahead of the No. 7 Mavs in the standings, while the Timberwolves, Thunder and Jazz are all just one game back of Golden State.
Here’s what Warriors coach Steve Kerr and stars Draymond Green, Curry and Thompson had to say after Monday’s win:
