The Golden State Warriors snapped their losing streak on Monday (Nov. 21) when they defeated the Houston Rockets. The victory will give the Warriors a slight reprieve from the current criticism and “big picture” questions being levied their way, allowing the roster to focus on building off their much-needed win.
There’s no question that the Warriors have struggled throughout November. However, it’s worth remembering that we’re still in the season’s early stages, and improvements are all but certain as the team continues to navigate its schedule. The return of Draymond Green from suspension will also be a big boost to the rotation.
Before we begin looking ahead toward Golden State’s upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday (Nov. 22) we should take a closer look at which Warriors players enjoyed a strong statistical game against the Rockets. After all, snapping out of a losing streak is never easy and likely requires significant effort and mental fortitude.
