1. Alperen Sengun is a godamn dog. Came to play and didn’t back down. Excellent news for Houston
2. Jalen Green and Fred Vanvleet lost this game for the Rockets. Period. Play Aaron Holiday if you have to
3. Amen Thompson was also very bad
4. Steven Adams has been a revelation

That’s a road win for the Warriors in 28 of 29 series in the Steph Curry era. They only gave up 85 points, held Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet to a combined 7-of-34 shooting. Curry (31 pts, 12/19 FG) and Butler (25, 10/19) drag them over finish line. Up 1-0 on Rockets.
