Chaos erupted in Houston as the Golden State Warriors’ eight-game winning streak came to a dramatic end in a 115–108 loss to the Rockets, marred by an on-court brawl and a major injury scare. In the third quarter, Houston guard Marcus Smart was ejected after throwing a punch at Warriors center Charles Bassey, who later called out Smart’s “fake toughness” in postgame interviews. Compounding Golden State’s frustration, superstar Stephen Curry exited the matchup early with an injury, leaving Dub Nation anxiously awaiting medical updates.
