Stephen Curry’s return gave the Warriors an immediate jolt Sunday night against the Houston Rockets, as the star guard poured in 29 points in just 26 minutes.
Curry’s night was described as a performance that was missing only the final punctuation point, but his efficiency and scoring punch helped put Golden State “back in the fight.”
In limited floor time, Curry delivered the kind of high-impact production that has long defined the Warriors at their best, quickly reestablishing himself as the focal point of the offense.
A lift in limited minutes
With Curry on the floor, Golden State had its familiar rhythm and spacing, and his scoring output underscored how quickly he can change the tone of a game. The Warriors didn’t need extended minutes to feel his presence; 26 were enough to make a statement.
Sunday’s outing served as a reminder of what Golden State looks like with its franchise cornerstone available, providing a timely boost as the team looks to steady itself and stay competitive.
