Jordan Poole

Draymond Green registered another triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Golden State Warriors past the Houston Rockets. After this los, the Rockets have now registered their franchise-worst record of 18th straight loss. With P.J.Tucker reportedly acquired by Milwaukee Bucks, the season is surely a one to forget by all means for the Houston fans. 

However, talking about this game, it wasn’t only Draymond Green who led the Warriors. But Jordan Poole who came off the bench to score game-high 23 points and made career high six 3-pointers in the progress. Apart from these two, Kelly Oubre Jr had 19 points whereas Andrew Wiggins registered 17 points against his name. 

Jordan Poole leads Warriors to hand Rockets their franchise worst 18th straight loss 

Houston’s skid surpasses the 17 straight losses by the San Diego Rockets in 1968, when they went 15-67 in their first year as a franchise. It’s the first time the Rockets have lost nine consecutive home games since they dropped 11 straight in 1983.

Golden State’s marquee player Stephen Curry had 18 points and went 2 for 11 from 3-point range before sitting out the fourth quarter with a tailbone contusion. 

Houston Rockets’ center Christian Wood returned after sitting out since Feb. 4 with a sprained right ankle. The Rockets had won seven of eight games before his injury. His first game out was when the skid started, and his return wasn’t nearly enough to get Houston back in the win column on a night when both John Wall and Victor Oladipo sat out. Kevin Porter Jr. led the Rockets with 25 points and Wood finished with 21 points and nine rebounds.
