Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets
· National Basketball AssociationHield scores 27 points, Warriors outlast Rockets 127-121 in OT after squandering big lead
It’s Golden State’s 14th straight-regular season win over the Rockets and the eighth in a row in Houston.
The Warriors led by 31 points in the first half. The Rockets tied it with an 18-2 run to open the fourth quarter.
Golden State scored the first six points in overtime to make it 125-119 and went on to a third straight win without Steph Curry, who is out with a sprained left ankle.
The Warriors led by five before a 3-pointer by Jabari Smith Jr. cut the lead to 119-117 with 15.5 seconds to go in regulation. Aaron Holiday stole the ball from Draymond Green and he fouled out a few seconds later. Tari Eason made two free throws after that to send it to overtime.
Eason led the Rockets with a career-high 27 points. Smith added 21.
Andrew Wiggins added 15 points for Golden State in his return after missing two games with a strained back.
Rockets: Houston played much better after halftime than it did in an awful first half but couldn’t close it out to build on consecutive wins at San Antonio and Dallas.
