Yaxel Lendeborg, Warriors can’t overcome Steph Curry injury in loss to Rockets
Follow
The Golden State Warriors saw their eight-game winning streak halted on Wednesday with a 115-108 defeat against the Houston Rockets. Compounding the team's difficulties, star player Steph Curry exited the contest early due to right side soreness after taking several hard falls, leaving the visitors without their primary scoring weapon.
Despite the unfavorable outcome, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg delivered a stellar performance by tallying 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 steals across 36 minutes of action. Brandin Podziemski contributed 22 points on 7-for-15 shooting, while De'Anthony Melton and LJ Cryer each sank three shots from beyond the arc.
However, the short-handed squad ultimately lacked the necessary depth and firepower to overcome Houston's robust defensive rotation.
