The Houston Rockets were right there in the first three frames following the lead of Nike Basketball's James Harden the pride of California High School Powerhouse Lakewood, California Artesia H.S. and Arizona State Sun Devils Hoops. Harden dropped a game-high 34 points like the Warriors though he would with "Dwight of Three Stripes" Howard in the middle. In the end it was too much "Splash Brothers" and the leading man for NBA's Sixth Man Award in G.S.W. PF/C Mo Speights!

The Rockets leading 76-73 after three knew the Warriors would make a run as they were the home team. The question is on almost every night in the Logo can your team withstand the run and finish and to finish at a high-level you need a Goon or two and the Warriors have two.

Behind Steph Curry (20 pts 7 asst 7 rebs) and Klay Thompson (21 pts 4 rebs 4 asst) combining for just 4 for 13 from deep the Warriors used a 21-11 run from the eight minute mark to the last minute left in the game to beat the Rockets.

Harden had 26 of his game-high 34 points through three and needed someone else to step and they did not. The Warriors go onto win 105-93 and closing on an impressive 32-17 run. It was G.S.W. also getting 20 points (3-4 3pt FG) from starter Harrison Barnes of Ames, Iowa HS by way of UNC Tar Heels Hoops Lore and that was big. Throw in PF Mo Speights 15 points and eight boards off the bench the Rockets could not match it!

Both Trevor Ariza and Donantas Motiejunas each added 18 points for the Rockets as they shoot just 41% from the field. They miss the inside presence of one Dwight Howard as they fall to 16-5.

Dubs All Day moves to an impressive 19-2 and their franchise record 14th "W" in a row...
