NBA schedule and results: Warriors knock off Rockets, remain undefeated

Houston was missing Dwight Howard with flu-like symptoms, and without his inside presence, the offense gravitated outside. Like, way outside. The Rockets shot 42 -- FORTY TWO -- 3-pointers while making only 10, led by James Harden’s 1-for-11 from deep. Only 17 other times in NBA history has a team attempted 42 or more triples in a game, according to basketball-reference.com. Of course, all 17 of those teams made at least 13 of their attempts.

Houston, No. 2 in the league with a 92.5 defensive rating, held Curry to 11 first-half points, but it was only a matter of time until he found his rhythm. Especially in the second half, we were witnessing peak Curry. Like this:

Four Spurs had a decent chance to slow Evans, but they proved to be ineffective. Evans is known for his ability to get to the rim, so it’s not like this came as a surprise.

The Rockets won’t play again until Wednesday, giving Howard a couple days to recover from the illness.

Three teams remain undefeated in the NBA, and all three will play Saturday night.
