On Sunday evening, the Golden State Warriors hosted the Houston Rockets at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
The Warriors lost by a score of 117-116.
That said, there was a lot of hope for the Warriors, as Steph Curry made his return to action for the first time since January.
He finished with 29 points, two rebounds, four assists and one steal while shooting 11/21 from the field and 5/10 from three-point range in 26 minutes of playing time.
Steve Kerr Makes Bold Statement
After the game, head coach Steve Kerr made a bold statement about Curry being back in action.
Kerr (h/t Warriors on NBCS): “We’re back in the mix… We’re back in the fight with Steph.”
Curry is still one of the ten best players in the NBA when he is on the floor.
The future Hall of Famer came into the night with averages of 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 46.8% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range in 39 games.
Social Media Reacts To Curry’s Performance
Here’s what people were saying about Curry’s return:
Matt Lively: “Steph Curry, man. Most entertaining Dubs game in awhile. Misses a quarter of the season and scores 29. Play-in just got more interesting, at the very least.”
@SwipaCam: “Steph Curry might still be the most dangerous guard with the ball in his hands in the NBA.”
Jason Timpf: “KD, Bron and Steph still doing it in April 2026. Absolute legends.”
Skip Bayless: “Steph, at 38 after missing 2+ months, looked more spectacular than ever – 29 in just 26 mins. But on the final play, down one, smother doubled, he should’ve given it up to Draymond and let him wide-open drive and maybe dish for a layup or dunk.”
Warriors Right Now
With their loss to the Rockets, the Warriors dropped to 36-42 in 78 games, which has them as the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
