Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Basketball Preview - 02-13-2025
The Warriors are on a back-to-back and facing an opponent that has proven tough for them this year: Houston Rockets are playing well but are still fighting for playoff berth in the Western Conference; thus this could turn into an entertaining defensive battle that ends under the number.
Both teams have much at stake, and will come into this matchup exhausted. However, the Rockets defense has proven itself formidable against teams like Golden State who put up many three-point attempts - their attempts are among the top five and they are among the leaders when it comes to three-point frequency, attempts and makes.
Golden State has been posting impressive offensive numbers this season, but has struggled on defense to stop opponents from scoring a lot of points in the paint. Since signing Jimmy Butler they should be better equipped to defend this area of play.
The Warriors have improved since acquiring Butler, and should keep this game close. Their lineup features players that can run the floor effectively as well as hit 3-pointers; therefore they should be able to compete with this Rockets squad that relies heavily on high-IQ basketball combined with brilliant hustle.
