Stephen Curry Shines Bright as Warriors Stun Rockets in Play-off Opener
Man, let me tell you—Stephen Curry just reminded everyone why he’s a four-time NBA champion. The Golden State Warriors opened their play-off run with a commanding 95-85 win over the Houston Rockets, and Curry was right at the heart of it all. He dropped 31 points, the most in the game, and didn’t stop there—he added six rebounds and three assists, showing once again that he’s not just a scorer, but a leader who makes plays when it matters.
This wasn’t just another game for Golden State. Coming in as the seventh seed, the Warriors were definitely not the favorites on paper. But the way they played in Houston? They looked like the hungrier, more experienced squad. And Curry, under intense pressure from defenders like Amen Thompson, kept his cool. Coach Steve Kerr summed it up perfectly: “Steph was incredible.” And honestly, that’s putting it lightly. His movement off the ball, those insane deep threes, and his ability to create space—he was doing it all.

Let’s not forget Jimmy Butler either, who had a solid night with 25 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Between him and Curry, they carried the team offensively and helped Golden State steal Game 1 on the road.
As for the Rockets, they’ve had a bit of a rough patch lately—three straight losses to close the regular season and now two back-to-back home defeats, including this one. Coach Ime Udoka said it wasn’t about the moment, but more about the physicality and decision-making in high-pressure situations. And that’s understandable—this is their first time in the play-offs since 2020, and experience counts big in games like this.
The Warriors now have the momentum and a 1-0 lead heading into Game 2, which is set for Thursday. If Curry keeps playing at this level—and honestly, when doesn’t he?—Houston is going to have to dig deep to bounce back.
So yeah, if anyone doubted Stephen Curry or this Warriors squad, they might want to tune in again. This team’s not just here to play—they’re here to win.
