Andrew Wiggins contributed 23 points, while rookie Brandin Podziemski dominated the boards with 12 rebounds. The Warriors managed this victory without key starters Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, both sidelined due to injuries. Curry is managing knee pain, while Green is dealing with left calf tightness, but both are expected to return for Friday’s game.
The Rockets’ Alperen Şengün led his team with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Dillon Brooks added 15 points despite a cold start, missing his first four 3-point attempts. The win marked a much-needed bounce-back for the Warriors, setting a positive tone for the second game of their back-to-back at home.
