Last Thursday at 6:00 AM

The Golden State Warriors suffered a 109-94 defeat to the Houston Rockets in Game 2 at Toyota Center on Wednesday night, but their main focus will be on the health of Jimmy Butler after the 6x All-Star left the game following a nasty fall in the first-quarter.

Between Butler's injury and Brandin Podziemski being significantly impacted by illness, is there too much to take from the game as the series heads to the Bay delicately poised at 1-1?

Last Monday at 5:00 AM

The Golden State Warriors have stolen home-court advantage in their first-round series against the Houston Rockets, claiming a 95-85 victory in Game 1 at Toyota Center thanks to 56 combined points from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

After the Warriors built a 23-point lead halfway through the third-quarter, the Rockets came storming back thanks to a 22-6 advantage in offensive rebounds. Is there an answer for Golden State's rebounding woes, or is simply a case of hoping their offensive shot-making is enough as it was on Sunday?

After an uninspiring but comfortable 103-86 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, the equation has become very simple for the Golden State Warriors -- win against the L.A. Clippers on Sunday and clinch the sixth-seed, or otherwise fall to seventh and host a Play-In game.

Stephen Curry battled through a slightly concerning thumb issue against the Trail Blazers, but Jimmy Butler (24 points) and Buddy Hield (16) stepped up in the 17-point road win!

STEVE KERR SHOWS HIS PLAYOFF ROTATION HAND AS WARRIORS BLOW GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
04/07/2025

A chance to jump into outright fourth in the Western Conference standings has gone begging for the Golden State Warriors, having had their five-game winning-streak snapped in a 106-96 loss to the Houston Rockets at Chase Center on Sunday.

Stephen Curry's disastrous performance and Golden State's 20 turnovers may have been the biggest factors in the game, but it's Steve Kerr's rotation patterns that could be of most intrigue ahead of the postseason.

04/05/2025

The Golden State Warriors faced a daunting back-to-back against the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, yet exited with two of their most impressive wins of the season to continue growing their playoff credentials.
