Gary Payton II secured the rebound but a mad scramble ensued as he tried to get the ball to a teammate. The Rockets secured the ball and Jonathan Kuminga fouled Jalen Green.<\/p>\n<p>Green made both free throws to give Houston the lead with 3.1 seconds remaining in regulation. Brandin Podziemski&#8217;s 3-pointer at the buzzer was blocked, dealing another tough loss to the Warriors, who call to 14-10 this season.<\/p>\n<p>With the loss, the Warriors will host Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks at 5:30 p.m. PT on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors fumbled away a golden chance to punch their ticket to Las Vegas after a sloppy first half.<\/p>\n<p>Houston led by as many as 14 points in the second quarter and took a 44-37 lead into the locker room at halftime. Golden State clawed back, winning the third quarter 32-24.<\/p>\n<p>And the Warriors were in control for most of the fourth quarter. But an issue that has plagued them all season &#8212; the inability to score late and close out games &#8212; popped up again.<\/p>\n<p>Golden State has three days off before they host Thompson and the 16-9 Mavericks.<\/p>\n<p>It might take the Warriors three days to get over Wednesday&#8217;s stunning loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors blew a six-point lead in the final three minutes and lost to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[911,187],"class_list":["post-16669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-nba-cup","tag-steph-curry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
