The Golden State Warriors ( 30 - 2 ) held off the Houston Rockets ( 16 - 18 ) to win 114 - 110 on Thursday night . This was a good old fashion Western Conference game with a ton of scoring and competitive play . Both teams offenses looked as efficient as ever , as they both were hovering around 50 percent from the field and over 40 percent from three - point range . No team really got a big lead in this game and it was nip - and - tuck throughout . The ball movement was the big difference for the Warriors , as they recorded 35 assists to the Rockets 21 . That 's no surprise with Golden State ranking first in the NBA in assists . Golden state looked like a shell of themselves in their last game without Steph Curry , but looked like the Warriors we all know and love here . The team was moving the ball around like they have been all season and playing the great team - ball they are known for . Draymond Green played distributor tonight en route to his fifth triple - double , as he dished out 16 assists to go with 11 points and 10 rebounds . Klay Thompson was great as well , as he recorded 38 points and seven rebounds . This small break without Curry may be just what this team needs to continue their historic run at that elusive 72 - win mark . The Warriors will take on the Denver Nuggets in their next game on Saturday . The Rockets played extremely well here , but fell just short against a better team . The combination of James Harden and Dwight Howard were the stars on Thursday and they need them to continue to play at this level all season . Harden tallied 30 points , five rebounds and five assists while Howard collected 21 points , 13 rebounds , five assists , three blocks and two steals . Those two playing at that type of level has been a rare sight this season and if they want to make another deep run , this form will need to carry over . Houston will have another tough task on Saturday , as they have to take on the San Antonio Spurs in a building where they have n't lost in this season . Not to mention that that 's a revenge game with the Rockets beating the Spurs on Christmas .
